Ok Smart Guys here's a good book that is potentially not too low-brow-shellsuit-wearing-STD-having for you guys..

It's called Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art by Lewis Hyde

It's about myth and folklore and how the modern psyche relates to it through our culture.. or somthing, i dont know what that mean? my dick itches..

Unfortunately it was not written by a presently deceased Russian man the century before last, so you might want to keep it on your 'other' bookshelf.. :mrgreen:

The ultimate hipster book is Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake'. Anyone here going to claim to have finished it?
