We were reading The Ticket that Exploded. I think it was Laguna Seca; ED was there as well. The book worked really well that way; since it's cut up, we were just creating a different narrative line. It was better than my experience reading Burroughs. In my opinion he gets out some good scenes, but big chunks of the stream of consciousness stuff could be edited out with no loss. Don't get me wrong - you can get good material that way, but you have to edit; Dionysus is good, but you need Apollo as well.
