When I was young I found Marshal McLuhan helpful with big ideas. He said he was really just interpreting James Joyce. He also felt Finnegan's Wake to be the most important book ever written.

I have never understood a word Joyce wrote. But I was able to get good ideas from McLuhan after chewing on them a while.

Thomas Wolfe once said about McLuhan: "He hits very big nails not quite on the head". McLuhan might have said that about Wolfe :>)

The Electric Kool Aid Acid test was a great book by Wolfe.
