AL PAL Books
This is a collection of books that Alan has mentioned in interviews and podcasts that I've listened to.
Some inspired his most recent album (WoH), some of these books he said have the vibe of his last two albums, and some I just saw him reading on his old Instagram. I also remember him saying that Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon was a big inspiration for WoH.

Did You Know?
The lyric, "'Cause where you aren't is always funner than where you are" from Club People is almost a direct line from Jay McInerney's debut novel called Bright Lights, Big City? I read that book just because of this fact and I enjoyed the novel immensely! It has the perfect vibe to go along with WoH! I highly recommend it!!
