Synesthesia sounds fun - although a little stressful at times! Have you ever read A Rebours by Huysmans? Also: bananas and custard FTW!

Oh, yes. It's a decadent novel about a highly self-indulgent French aristocrat - who has taste-sound synesthesia. I highly recommend it - although it's certainly not to everyone's tastes. A few parts are incredibly dull - if you read it, don't be afraid to skip sections if you don't find them interesting - but some parts are truly wonderful. It doesn't really have a plot as such :D Have you read Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey? If so, this is the French novel mentioned that poisons Grey's mind and leads to his amoral lifestyle, hehe. I love it when literature interlinks like that.
