. . . and read Billenium, by J.G. Ballard, the guy who wrote Empire Of The Sun and lots of other stuff.
This is possibly the worst-spelled-title-that-got-missed-on-Earth. Although "Billenium" is an invented word, it should follow the spelling conventions of "millennium" with a double "n" (Don't worry, even I have problems with these obschure schpellings).
There are some things I can't read. Metaphysics. Stuff by lunatics, like William Burroughs. Literary crap by people like V.S. Naipaul.
But you owe it to yourself to try to track down a copy of Billenium. It's like travelling into a nightmare, but with a lunatic as your pilot.
Highly recommended.
