I have decided to go with the book cover series instead of the dinner invitation. I am going to redesign the the drugs set which consists of: Junky by William S. Burroughs, Confessions of An English Opium Eater by Thomas De Quincey, and The Subterraneans by Jack Kerouac. None of which I have read. I am somewhat familiar with Burroughs and Kerouac though. I am going to scope the libraries for these books asap so I can began to read some of them while I work on the designs. For now I have been reading about the authors and these titles online and have started looking at preexisting designs for these books. Below are a few things I found. In addition I cam across a couple loaded links. This one has a ton of William Burroughs book covers on it! Thirty or so covers for Junky, even ones in different languages, which is awesome. And I came across this Jack Kerouac book cover flickr group which has loads of cover posted. That is where I found the two series posted below, the three books series and the four book series with the black and white photos. It was cool to see some examples of series designed for these books, to see how the designer handled it. Also I this link has a ton of covers for Kerouac's On the Road, in all different languages too, which was fun to look at.
