i'm about to dive into Thomas Pynchon's V.

I read these yesterday and the day before
http://www.illiterarty.com/files/www...s_incident.jpg Good, didn't like the story much but the structure and language was interesting http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pG1UEqZDiG...a%2Bfourth.jpg Loved this http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YlS6PInRkx...2Bscissors.jpg Meh on memoirs. Interesting, although it left me pretty sceptical http://i43.tower.com/images/mm117186...-cover-art.jpg Not as good as her other ones now I'm reading http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ectionscvr.jpg which is very enjoyable |
^^ Masterpiece! One of the best books I've read in the last 5 years, possibly ever.

This was really good, I loved it. The style of writing is something refreshing which I hardly come across. It's based upon two characters, inherently lonely nature, with Paolo (the writer) describing their stories in alternating chapters until they finally overlap. Really nice look at human emotion with some interesting mathematical metaphors. The ending seemed abrupt and slightly predictable, but it's definitely worth the read. Right now I'm reading: http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/i...n11/n58173.jpg This book is flowing so well, I love the way this guy writes. It's like you don't even realize you're turning pages as you read, and incidently hours pass and it feels like minutes. Loving this one so far. |
Just read Breakfast of Champions. Still undecided about if I liked it or not....
and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell I'm re-reading as it is excellent. |
Just read Victor Wooten's The Music Lesson. If I wasn't drawn in by a book by Wooten, the review by bassist Tony Levin sealed it when he said it was akin to a Carlos Casteneda book (Don Juan, etc.). F'in unbelievable. Highly quotable as well.
