well maybe NA but that's not a "genre" exactly is it?

I can't really read when I am drunk.

― fletrejet, Friday, 11 July 2003 12:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I can read but I have forgotten it all when I am sober. I remember it a bit if I get drunk again. The state dependency of memory.

Naomi Campbell's novel. Swan, or whatever it was called. Me and some mates got very drunk, reading it out loud to each other and guffawing with laughter. It was GRATE!!!

Then we sobered up and it was unreadable. Sigh.

Naomi Campbell's cover of 'Ride A White Swan' actually pretty good (John Peel thought the same and played it on his show).

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 11 July 2003 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

She didn't! Did she? What is it with Naomi and swans?

"Big Sur" by Kerouac.

I have tried twice in my life to read some of Finnegan's Wake. The first time I was very drunk and managed 17 pages and then only stopped because my tube train did. The second time I was sober and managed about 30 lines.

Leaves of Grass, or it just happened to be on my aunt's coffee table when I was drunk

Tico OTM, Finnegans Wake is the one where Joyce finally excluded the teetotomtotalitarians. Downside: you don't remember much of it when you're through.

big sur was written when jk was sobering up, so i find the irony delicous.

reading only pisses me off when I'm drunk. In such a state want human interaction, sleep, music, TV or oblivion.

Reading drunk sounds like a really bad time.
