Of course.
I gather his spelling was Junky but his first editors insisted on Junkie, and censored out a lot. (And he originally used William Lee as a nom de plume to protect his family from attack.) When he was big enough to insist on an unexpurgated edition, he changed it back to Junky. So we are both right.seany65

"Lee Friedlander", the Fundacion Mapfre publication. It just came in today's mail and I've only thumbed through it. I've seen most of the photos before but some are new to me. Plus it looks like some interesting reading.
I counted this afternoon. I now own 44 books of Lee Friedlander's photography.

"The Girl Who Played With Fire" by Steig Larsson.
First few chapters a bit too violently sexual, but later gets into being a great mystery.

I would also recommend his “But Beautiful: A Book About Jazz” and “The Ongoing Moment”, if you haven’t read them yet. Great stuff…

One of the most amazing books I have ever read. Icily disquieting. Never read anything else quite like it.

Re-reading "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K Le Guin, which I do/have done every year for the past 40 years. (I actually re-read the whole six-book extended trilogy every year.)

Re-reading Nicholas Negroponte. Being Digital, and Nicholas G. Carr: The Shallows. Some 15 years between publication dates, both books dealing with how the digital lifestyle affects us. Very different perspectives though. Both books are very well written and highly recommended.

Just finished Born to run, by Christopher McDougall. (It didn't exactly make me want to run more, but it helped me to run better.)

I am a "one-time" reader of War and Peace... so far... wonderful book
Also enjoyed "The Last Station" by Jay Parini... the story of the final year in the life of Leo Tolstoy, told from multiple viewpoints

Re-reading Couples by John Updike. I first read it in 1968 and picked it up the other day and started reading it again.
