Finished:

[image loading]


Started this one due to a friend giving it to me for half a day because I told her I was bored and she didn't have time for me (not gonna waste my time going to an amusement park).

[image loading]

I'm not really into this kind of genre but the book is decent, to say the least. Nearly finished it in that period of time. Fun fact: the first book I read in English and the only other one of this genre is actually "Looking for Alaska", from the same author. Anyway, I ordered it yesterday to finish it.

This Crowded Earth - Robert Bloch (1968)

Oldskool SciFi, scarily accurate at times.

"[While waiting in queue] Standing around waiting, that's what did it. This eternal waiting. When he was a kid, the grownups were always complaining about the long seven-hour work days and how they cut into their leisure time. Well, maybe they had reason to gripe, but at least there was some leisure before work began or after it was through. Now that extra time was consumed in waiting. Standing in line, standing in crowds, wearing yourself out doing nothing"

Unless I didn't see yours, I'm just saying that having a baby doesn't necessarily make us more intelligent as a species.

Right now I'm in between two courses and winding down with some fiction. Anybody here who has read Mr Sammler's Planet? I'm only 30 pages in but I'm enjoying it so far.


Read Mr. Sammler's Planet because I hadn't read any Saul Bellow and you mentioned it in this thread. I was rather unimpressed with it. The narrator is a grumpy old man. The dialogue is disconcertingly stilted (even for an old man in the 70's I would think but maybe I am wrong). The references to Negroes and Orientals are jarring. And some of the longer "philosophical" passages come across as contrived. Why do people like Saul Bellow? Are his other books better?
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

Very uneven book. I didn't like the beginning, by the middle I was mildly interested, the ending was good. The style had the same problem; Modiano's descriptions didn't please me that much but the man is a metaphor master.
The last paragraph of the book makes reading the whole thing worth it, but only because it's short.

Now reading: Agosto(August) by Rubem Fonseca.

going to start Rebatet's Les deux étendards. It has a very good reputation as a novel, but Rebatet collaborated with Vichy and the nazis, as quite a number of others, but his novel seems to be the most interesting one.

So did you like it ?

For some reason i found Les décombres way more fun to read lol. Just try to get the free .pdf since the old nrf books are kinda expensive.

Much better than Louis-Ferdinand and his depressive rants.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

I read Snow Crash for the first time. A really exciting book. There's a lot of points where I feel kind of swept up in everything and a lot of things felt confusing, but nevertheless it all felt like part of the plan. The Metaverse is an awesome setting, and Stephenson has a great sense of humor paired along with a pretty casual writing style that I liked a lot.

Finished Zelazny's "Roadmarks." My main reaction is "whut." Flowers and the monk dude were awesome though. Would read fanfiction about the monk dude and did, in fact, look for it, but it seems all the Zelazny fanfiction is Amber stuff.

Moving onto Rachel Hartman's "Seraphina." One of my friends recommended it to me a few weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to pick it up in the bookstore. I don't read a lot of YA lit, so I missed out on this book, even though it seems to have made a ripple in the YA community. Pretty decent so far, waiting for it to pick up.

Riveting stuff, lemme tell ya.



I read that exact same edition for Civ Pro, it wasn't too bad.

Law school is silly.

Civ Pro is my favorite class so far, as the sometimes overly elaborate, abstract Supreme Court opinions match up better with my background in literature and critical theory than the other topic areas in which lower courts dominate the case law. So far, I've found the reading pretty interesting and enjoyable, though I don't sense similar attitudes among my peers lol

well youll love second semester then, con and crim law at once!

Read this along with Sound of the Mountain by Yasunari Kawabata in the last week. Both good books.
