7 books you will psyche on and should totally read: What Youth
This was one of my favourite books when in my early 20s. Still have a copy and will read again.
Next cab off the rank, Stella Maris (another McCarthy). Because I loved The Passenger, and it was available at our library.
Books are wonderful.

I often bemoan the fact that good writing is a dying art. It ain't necessarily true but it sometimes feels that way. The yoof, it always seemed to me, could buy a Canikon for a couple hunge, flood the 'net with images, and call 'emselves artists - easy! But unlike photography there's no shortcut to good writing: no autofocus, no colour correcting software - it's hard fucken work. And the first step toward it is to read lots and lots of great writers. So yeah, glad to see the yoof - What Yoof! - spruiking seven good books. Bit limited in scope and style but a good list nonetheless.
