M.I.A. 225 Posted April 2, 2017 Literature, no matter if novels or poems, plays a huge role in Lana's life and being a good writer was always her main goal.

Lana Rey Del Mar 6 Posted April 3, 2017 I find this thread so interesting that it deserves my first reply on Lanaboards lol I read this interview with Lizzy a while ago and she mentions a book in it too 14.If you had to go shopping for someone and buy a record, a book and a film – what would they be and why?“I would buy the same things for anyone. I think everyone should have the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The movie "Don't Look Back" by D.A. Pennebaker, and for a record, I would get "Agnus Dei" composed by Samuel Barbe.” http://www.repeatfanzine.co.uk/interviews/Lana%20Del%20Rey.htm 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been a fan of her since basically the beginning and her loving literature and reading all the classics, made me respect her even more. I bought Lolita after BTD dropped and a Walt Whitman poem book before Paradise. There is so much more though! Her favorite books are definitely "selfhelp-books" and this whole genre of motivational books and the road to a successful life. She named countless of those during her career already. I will update this ASAP I promise y'all! I'm just very busy with finals right now. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M.I.A. 225 Posted April 3, 2017 She's a huge Allen Ginsberg fan and a fan of the Beat Generation in general. Jack Kerouac as well I think. Walt Whitman and Nabokov obviously. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lana Rey Del Mar 6 Posted June 27, 2017 I was reading some interviews again (I just love reading her sentences and hearing her voice in my head lol) and she metioned some books there too http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/cover-story/6737539/lana-del-rey-billboard-cover-pop-stardom-relationships-anxiety One of the books I love -- aside from [Kenneth Anger’s] Hollywood Babylon -- is The Autobiography of a Yogi. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reputation 6,321 Posted October 26, 2017 can we assume she is a fan of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? She was wearing a themed-shirt in the marlyin manson film. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
