From the title the last one sounds like the author has been drinking Ray Kurzweil's coolaid, but hope it's decent? | ||

Just about halfway through 'A Wild Sheep Chase'. I love it, but his style is becoming a bit too familiar for me. | ||

I'm stuck somewhere in the second half of the first part. He's really very repetitive. This is exactly what I have done lol I think he's an amazing writer, but most style-based writers would get boring after constant exposure to their style. Its a shame and after this one i'm going to limit myself to one of his books per year, because at his best he's my favourite author. | ||

Also Anathem is really great, shaping up to be my favourite Stephenson novel. The neologisms he came up with are a little confusing at first but work well after a while. | ||

Finished Nell Zink's novels, best prose of any American author in recent memory, cerebral, hilarious, plainspoken. Made a sizable dent in Paglia's Sexual Personae. I feel like reading a summary would be better. 1/3 of the way through DeLillo's White Noise. Pretty interesting, waiting for what it's building up to. Finished Georg Büchner- Lenz. Short story about a schizophrenic. Got it from Anti-Oedipus actually. Read some of Lincoln Michel's short stories on a friend's tip. Really liked a few. http://lithub.com/colony/ https://catapult.co/stories/the-room-inside-my-fathers-room Started Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent but then saw there's a documentary so probably just gonna watch that. | ||

On the other hand, I'm halfway through Boccaccio's Decameron, which is a great light-hearted and fun read. Middle-Ages clearly weren't that bad (if you were rich, classic condition though). | ||
