Recommended by D.B.

On David Bowie's reading list I found two books - and two books only - I added to my 'books to read':
1. Alberto Denti di Pirajno, 'A Cure For Serpents. A Doctor in Africa' (1952) #italian #nordafrica #WWII #Libya #doctor #medicine. A bookreview: here.



2. Camille Paglia, 'Sexual Personae Art and Decandence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson' (1990). According to the Wikipedia lemma on this book, the book was not recieved very well. #fringe #fuss #history #WesternCulture #Apollo-vs-Dionysus #order-vs-chaos #rational-vs-irrational.
