Yes. Then you can watch Apocalypse Now and feel cool too.

Call of the Wild by Jack London was a happy surprise for me. Just long enough for an afternoon without something better to do and a plot theme as fresh as ever. 5/5
I finished off the animal day with Jonathan Livingston Seagull. It was good, but mainly from an aesthetic point of view (I loved the photos within, especially those printed on translucent paper). 4/5
Tried to read Seamus Heaney, but I just can't enjoy any poetry these days ...

drnick, I vaguely remember you were interested in poetry. Can you recommend any modern or contemporary poets who write in the English language, and who prefer simplicity and sharpness in favor of unnecessary ornamentation, far-fetched metaphors and quirky words, almost like, how shall I say, minimalism? Oh, and I love experimental stuff.
Minimal experimental contemporary English poetry. Yeah.

I've read a book! The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham. About a man who rejects convention, it totally rules.
