i finished snow country, liked it in a way, very cinematic, the main female character reminded me a little bit of estela and a little bit of harbl.then i read Picadilly Jim by Wodehouse. not as funny as bertie and jeeves, but i ended up caring about the characters, which was strange for a wodehouse.i read half of alain de botton's Architecture of Happiness. it's the problem i often have with non-fiction: taking three hundred pages to say what could be said in three pages.then i read a few pages of virginia woolf's The Waves and thought oh no way fuck this shitnow i'm reading Sartre's The Age of Reason and liking it very much.i'm getting to the danger zone, i only have 3 or so books left. gotta find a bookstore.

hey, if you're into a book, and read it before bed, how long after you wake up do you start thinking about it?
― jergins, Tuesday, October 20, 2009 6:00 PM (1 month ago) Bookmark Permalink
i hate (like) when i wake up on a saturday or sunday and pick up the book again right away and lay in bed for 2 hours being really hungry and really having to pee.

ari just read one of these, the one about the girl who cons the older woman, or something
― max max max max, Tuesday, 29 December 2009 11:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i got books i may or may not ever read
and books i have already read
i get books every xmas because my mom makes me ask for things (or will buy things i don't want if i don't) but it takes me 2-3 years to read them after i get them because i read other books i have or library books. so i'll read middlemarch in 2012 maybe

i am still on a jane smiley kick, but am taking a break to read neuromancer by william gibson (i hardly ever get round to reading sci-fi so it makes a nice change)
also i am pulling a sickie today, for maybe only the second time ever
― smoove operator, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 17:16 (fourteen years ago) link
<3 neuromancer
ive probably read it a dozen times

the only other gibson i've read is burning chrome, which i liked a lot
― smoove operator, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 19:08 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah neuromancer is basically a 300-pg version of the burning chrome short story, but better

it's funny, but reading it (altho i'm not v far in), it doesn't seem as dated as i would have imagined

neuromancer so amazing and so prescient....doesn't he even anticipate poopsocking at one point??!
both the tove jansson books were really good, esp the short story collection 'a winter book'
