I have a huge problem with the Sound of Fury : there is somewhere in my parents' house a copy of it which I haven't been able to find among the ca. 2500 books there are for the past month

As I Lay Dying isn't even that incomprehensible. Some of the scenes kind of don't make sense, but for the most part the story actually made sense and everything.

The Sound and The Fury makes sense too once you know three or four things about the plot, but if you don't it becomes really dense.

I still prefer Hemingway though, especially The Old Man and the Sea.

Hemingway is my jam. I've read almost all of his fiction works, and once I finish those (1.5 to go!) I'm going to start reading some of his nonfiction.

It has time to become impossible to understand, but so far (50 pages in) it, I think it's amazing.
And I've finally found a respected author who seems to love parenthesis as much as I do. This is Christmas I swear.

I have a collection of Kafka short stories to read tomorrow. It includes In the Penal Colony as well as The Metamorphosis. I read The Metamorphosis years ago, so I think it's about time I take the time to read it a second time.

Does it have A Hunger Artist? It's my favourite thing by Kafka next to The Metamorphosis.

Let me check....it does not. The four longer works (with a lot of short 1-2 page short stories at the beginning) are The Judgment, In the Penal Colony, the Metamorphosis, and Letter to His Father.

It might be in another one of Kafka's short story collections, that I'll have to look around for when I have the time.

Ah I'd start with Letter to His Father then. Once you read it Kafka's fiction becomes much more meaningful.

I make sure to re-read this at least once a year. Big fan of biographies and detailed historical settings, so DKG (and, while totally irrelevant, Haruki Murakami) has been a big source of books for me. I also really liked The Bully Pulpit, which was on Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft.

Ditto on this one. Got to hang out with Tony Kushner for a few days my senior year of high school and he praised the book to no end. I went to Gettysburg College and one of my professors was the same way. Figure I ought to actually read it at this point. Grabbed my copy from the library yesterday.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll start with that then.

Three Body Problem was incredibly underwhelming. I kinda went into it with somewhat high expectations considering the intriguing premise and all the raving reviews hailing it as the zenith of Chinese sci-fi and such, but it was kinda meh. Still haven't gotten around to reading the rest of the trilogy yet, though from what I understand it's capable of standing alone.

After turning the last page of A Dance with Dragons and now desperately trying to master telepathy so I can order GRRM to finish The Winds of Winter faster, I decided to start reading the Gap Cycle by Stephen R. Donaldson in the meantime. I immediately ordered the other four books after getting halfway through this one. It's a pretty bleak and violent story with strong characters, excellent world-building and so far it's thankfully not too heavy on the hard sci-fi. From reviews I've read that the series gets better with every book, so I've got something to look forward to, because I'm already loving the introductory one.
I close one eye, and I see half. I close both, and I see everything.

Picked this up randomly from used book store. Really enjoyable... the treatment is scholarly yet still presented in an easily readable narrative. It reveals a complex character in Saigo Takamori, and gives a view of Japan's transition into a modern state.

I'm about 200 pages in, and so far I think it's great. I would definitely teach this book

Really? I wasn't impressed, since the plot felt vapid and the characters were unbelievably flat. It reminded me of old, poorly developed sci-fi from decades ago, which I think makes sense considering how sci-fi is a very new genre for Chinese writers relatively speaking. Let me know when you finish it so I don't spoil.

I really like the 3body game where they live in a universe with 3 suns. It reminds me of The Diamond Age.

we'll speak again when I'm done

I finished it. I thought it was really good! I look forward to reading the others. I think maybe we have different sensibilities about the plot and characters and stuff. I don't really care about that stuff as much probably. I thought it dealt with a lot of really interesting ideas. Partly I like it because it is similar to a story I was thinking about writing for a while.
