King Vulture's Summer/Beach Reading List

So summer has been upon us since March down here and I'm already sick of it. You won't catch King Vulture at the beach ("It's where dirt meets water. End of fascination." quoth Bill Hicks) But if you're one of those weirdos that like to sit out in the burning sand, cooking your flesh, and tempting the sharks, you're probably gonna bring something to read. May I suggest a few things?
(click on the author for bio, click on the title for Amazon link)
1)KATHY ACKER Empire of the Senseless
2)DAVE MELTZER Tributes
3)JIM THOMPSON Pop.1280
4)MICHAEL CRICHTON Travels
5)DENIS JOHNSON Jesus' Son
6)DON BAJEMA Reach
7)HUBERT SELBY The Demon
8)DEZ SKINN Comix
9)JIM DEROGATIS Let it Blurt
10)JAMES ELLROY The Cold Six Thousand
That ought to keep you busy for a while. Some nice, relaxing, feel good books to pass away these lame summer days.
