So recently I got into reading again after 10-15 years of not having time for it, and bought some books or poetry I liked when I was a teenager. I like dark themes and dirty realism a lot and currently have these:
Charles Bukowski, Ham On Rye & Betting On The Muse
Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange
William S. Burroughs, Interzone (I have tried to find Junky and Naked Lunch in my language, but I might have to buy these in English)
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
Dan Fante, Kissed By A Fat Waitress
James Joyce, Dubliners
As you can see, I don't exactly have a lot of books but atleast it's something. So, any suggestions?

Here are some you might like:
* The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
* Any of the books by Cormac McCarthy
* Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin
* Perfume by Patrick Suskind. I haven’t yet read this, it’s on my to-read list.
Galveston, The Winter of Frankie Machine or The Killer Inside Me
A Season in Hell by Arthur Rimbaud was my favorite when I was in high school. It’s poetry.
