I read Howl back in college and didn't like Ginsberg's work or Beat poetry in general, but studying them further and disconnecting the meaning from the shocking and raunchy poems, I really like them. A lot of them are unfortunately still relevant today. the various poems are about: the government's mistreatment of the working class, anti-consumerism, and anti-war.
What is it about certain titles on certain days catch your eye?

Naked Lunch is very successful at inserting you into a paranoid, dysfunctional, disorientating and disturbing world of addiction whilst critiquing the society which enables it. However, it is a tough and brutal book to read in more ways than one. 6/10
