I really enjoyed listening to his lectures. Two that stood out for me are below.

Seconded. My personal favorite is a short essay called "The Discipline of Do Easy", around which Gus van Sant has made a narrated short film[1].

Book wise I enjoyed the Ticket That Exploded, Yagé Papers and the trilogy around Cities Of The Red Night more than Naked Lunch.
