That's what I've heard. It does seems kind of slow; 70 pages in and no rape, torture, or murder yet!

Pirate Latitudes, a posthumously published Crichton novel.

not his style - no jumping between characters and stories then tying it all together at the end. more or less a straight story.

and not nearly as much baiting and intrigue as he usually supplies. though apparently it was written in the early 90s so it kind of makes sense.

nothing really new here, but very entertaining nonetheless. pirates always make for good reading

^ I have that book, got it for Christmas I believe. I'll probably get around to it eventually... as you said, pirates always make for good readin'

Kind of like Mark Twain on amphetamines. Faulkner's main gimmick is his use of crazy characters and their viewpoints, and this is no different. Aside from a few weird-out moments it's nothing too dramatically impressive so far. I'm almost done, so I'll re-evaluate it later. Suffice it to say that The Sound and the Fury is Faulkner's best stuff by miles and miles.
