I was really taken by his ability with language, particulary in Tropic Of Capricorn. I don't think i've read anything quite like it, definetely worth more than a single glance.
Have you read Miller's Black Spring, its fucking great. Pretty much just total stream of conciousness stand alone chapters. Theres an amazing one where he paints a picture of a horse, and another one about him pissing in the street in Paris as he ruminates about the great men of literature.
