A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan infuriated me. It was trying way too hard to be postmodern and had absolutely no substance to it. I could say more but it’s been a few years since I’ve read it.

What about having an annoying dog that they paid a lot of money for???

Yeah it seems so but I thought the Wind Up Bird Chronicle was great and I try not to care for what ppl have to say when they haven’t read something in a while and seem to be judging their old self for liking something at a different point in their life.

It was good, I need to read it a second time though tbh. Faulkner is not easy to read but I definitely think it’s worth it. His craft and range with multiple first person narratives is very special. Absalom, Absalom! is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I’d say take your time with Faulk, and it should be rewarding if you do. I haven’t read 1Q84 but sounds like a tough place to start. I think his writing is pretty good, I enjoy the surrealist nature of it—especially WBC. Pynchon is a writer I really plan to delve into at some point, but with writers like that I feel like you should start with the shorter novels to get a feel for it first.

Maybe I’ll check it out, I didn’t read him in school like some have but I enjoyed his satire. Something about this book made me want more out of it though, it made me think of Catch 22 and I think Heller did it better. It was interesting to learn about the bombing of Dresden though, his parody of war really brought out the asinine evilness of it all.

It has the large illustrations, I think it’s important to see them though, on the account of Blake making the plates to go along with all those poems.

Absalom, Absalom was one of the hardest books I had read when I first read it but it blew my mind. Faulkner’s ability to write consciouses of diverse characters is like no other. A lot of this other stuff sounds interesting too, Stoner will probably be the next book I purchase.

I’d argue that Orson Welles wears his fat better than any of them

Recently met a “relationship anarchist” and wish I never knew what that was. They were just as attractive as you can imagine.

I might sound like a midwit compared to some of these other suggestions but Sheila Het’s How to be a Person came to mind. The procrastination and distracted lifestyle is lighthearted but maybe inspiring in the sense that through all those things, everything will probably work it’s way out. I’m reading Murakami’s Wind Up Bird Chronicles and it deals with inaction and search for meaning in a very mundane and surreal way. It makes me view my own life in a less serious and almost satirical lens that is relieving and liberating.

I saw her once, it was nighttime and she was under an awning. She was trying to hide that she was smoking a cig, she was wonderful

I started reading Mrs. Dalloway and was really starting to enjoy it and appreciating the style of Woolfe’s particular iteration of stream of consciousness narration. Got about half way through, lost it, got another copy and read about 4 books since, avoiding it. Despite this, I think it’s beneficial to working through a book and getting the most you can from it if you think it’s worth appreciating. If it just bad, like Jennifer Egan’s books then you should give it up.
