David Lynch's 5 favorite books include these surprising beach reads!

lol. jk. My dude has never been to the beach. Dave’s actual Top 5 list (according to Far Out magazine) is, of course, a throughly Lynchian quintet of unheimlich surrealism, existentialist historical fiction, disturbing found photography, hundred-year-old art criticism, and auteur biography.

Each of the below titles can now be found on the shelves of Silencio, Lynch’s Parisian private venue club, opened by the director a few years back and “dedicated to creative communities.” Silencio—which I didn’t know existed until until about an hour ago but am now obsessed with—also boasts a curated selection of Lynch’s favorite music, films, furniture, and wine, so if anyone wants to get weird in Paris this weekend, hit me up.

The Name Above The Title by Frank Capra
