| If your interested in the book, there is a thread on it in another part of this site. I didn'r totaly love the movie. It didn't measure up to the book (but how could it?). The characters seem kind of flat (though Buroughs did come across that way.) It played fast and loose with real history, most of... |

| That story may or may not be true, but either way it was not cut up. Cut up involved literaly cutting and pasting. Like, with real scizoers and paste. Boroughs did not invent this method. He got it fro Bryon Gysen, who got it from the Dadaists. He publised several books in produced in this way, and ... |

| People on the spectrum are someimes confused with cluster B personality disorders such as Narcicissts and sociopaths. But they are not the same thing and there are very important differences. People on the spectrum have trouble reading other peoples emotions, but when they understand them, they do c... |

| The first one came out in the early eighties and was just called "Burroughs." The second one just came out, and is called "William S Burroughs, the man within." I don't know if you can find the whole movies of his on youtube, but there are definatly clips. Though nothing matches the experaince of se... |

| Lets not mince words. I read the book six times. Recently I picked up somebody else's copy and had to tear myself away from it. I've read a lot of his other books, too. Saw him live twice. Watched both documentaries (the second one twice.) As my father used to say, "with taste and scent no argument." |

| You might be a aspie if, as a kid, you put your shirt on inside out more than 50% of the time. If you can remember the lyrics to twenty songs by Leadbelly, but none by the current pop sensation. If your partners and freinds pick our clothes for you. If you don't believe in the Judeo Christian parady... |

Women by that age have usualy outgrown that routine, and the younger ones wont be very intersted in your bad self. 2: Lets face it, being bad is dangerouse. Nice ... |

| I started at 14. At 47, I'm still at it.| gueass that makes me a poet. I've been published in small places here and there. I don't think that's the point, though. I couldn't stop if I tried. Ryming poetry is way out of style, but that's mostly what I write. (Not all, though.) I supose I'd have becom... |

| Well, I can say this: I saw Robert Crumb live on Haloween of 2009. He said that he spent four years ilistrating the book of Genasis, mostly alone, "lost in my own autistic world." He didn't quite say "My name is Robert, and I'm on the spectrum," but he used the word "autistic" to describe himself. |
