since my last extremely interesting post in this thread I finished Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light, which unfortunately turd into pure pain. The plot became a self-indulgent childish mess. The only thing lending any slight decency was Zelazny's writing skill and wit, which unfortunately kept turning to rhetoric. Highly recommend to avoid. this really bugs me because it's supposed to be amazing, and I enjoyed some of his short stories greatly. this furthers my ever strengthening hypothesis that EVERY OPINION ON THE INTERNET IS FUCKING STUPID AND UNSUBSTANTIATED, a mantra which my posts somehow evade. |

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Mark Haddon I rarely read, but this quite interesting. It's sort of a mystery novel. The narrator is an autistic 15-year old who was trying to find out who killed a poodle. Also, the chapters are ordered by prime numbers. |

It actually could. Think of all the information on this whole board from the last 3 years. obviously 60% is useless but the book will need filler :D |

philosophical investigations - ludwig wittgenstein (and for those people who are reading dosteyovsky, check out 'notes from the underground') |

let's see... Obligatorily A. Miller's "The Crucible" plus free-willingly a couple of books (which is usual): giorgio agamben - la comunita che viene & T.Sebeok - Biosemiotics Btw, just finished Writing and Difference (whoever was planning on tackling it next), and it's actually a collection of essays, which makes it sort of interesting but not systematically enticing. Derrida's fun though, if not as interesting as, say, Deleuze. |

sweet, I was certain my boat. some people have expressed difficulty finding all threads created by a specific member. The search didn't work for me so I found out that if you append "&start=xyz" (where xyz is some integer) to the created-by sorted view, you can do the same thing (well I had to binary search to find myself). For example, . I'm now reading a recent translation of 104 stories from Pu Songling's ; I had read some of them before and was looking forward to this new selection (the complete set is ~559 stories). I'm really enjoying it. The author recorded all his dreams and was very well read; as such he had a huge breadth of creative sources for the material.. |
