J.G. Ballard was a horrible writer and Crash was a horrible book. /opinion

I've not read it yet. It's on my bookshelf though. Got it cheap second-hand in a charity shop.

"Läther" by Frank Zappa is the greatest Zappa album one will ever experience. Good day, people.

Just found this. I thought of Ben: WOODY ALLEN: That's quite a lovely Jackson Pollock, isn't it? GIRL IN MUSEUM: Yes it is.
WOODY ALLEN: What does it say to you?
GIRL IN MUSEUM: It restates the negativeness of the
universe, the hideous lonely emptiness of existence, nothingness, the
predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity,
like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void, with nothing but
waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless bleak straightjacket
in a black absurd cosmos.
WOODY ALLEN: What are you doing Saturday night?
GIRL IN MUSEUM: Committing suicide.
WOODY ALLEN: What about Friday night?
GIRL IN MUSEUM: [leaves silently]

I want Crash (and High Rise). I've nearly 1,000 books in my personal library, with most critically acclaimed works from:
Dick, Steinbeck, Le Guin, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Clarke, Asimov, Joseph Conrad, Orwell, Wells, Mcarthy, Shakespeare (ugh), Brunner, Zelazny, Vonnegut (except Breakfast of Champions), Heinlein, Frank Herbert, I have the Guide to the Galaxy on the way by mail, Gene Wolfe, Lots of 'classics' in a random assortment, Hardy, Nabokov, Anne Rice (f**kin' twit), Dean Koontz (why?), the first eleven books in the Wheel of Time series, seventeen Stephen King books (most of which I'll never read), lots of popular/highly rated science fiction, most of Nietzsche's material, Edgar Allen Poe, Lovecraft, Ayn Rand, Huxley, Tolkien (don't give a good god damn), Kafka, Niven, Philip Jose Farmer, three books of short stories, Robert Stephenson, and so many more.

He doesn't like Shakespeare. His opinions are invalid.

I've read Romeo and Juliet for school.
Saw a weird version of The Tempest once too... I'd probably read it if someone made a modern version of it.
