Brief Update
am writing from buenos aires.
have many books to write about,
but will just give a quick list and a one-sentence thing here.
wow, i haven't written anything in here since House of Meetings !?
okay, going backwards.
about to read:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.
currently reading:
A Good Man Is Hard To Find by Flannery O'Connor.
This book is awesome. Stories similar to Roald Dahl, but even more violent and bitter, and set in the American South.
The Poincaré Conjecture by Donal O'Shea.
Another math history book. I love the math history.
This one involves the epinomous problem which is simple enough to state and seems quite trivial but has stumped mathematics for a century until ever so recently. It has to do with possible shapes of the universe.
Another biography of Isabelle Eberhardt, but i forget which one.
very recently read:
The Bookman's Promise by John Dunning.
Not as good as The Bookman's Wake, but still fun enough.
The Summons by John Grisham.
Wow! I was expecting poor, but this surpassed. I hoped for at least an exciting plot. Seriously nothing happens, there's no meat, the characters are dull, the plot is sloppily thrown together, it's bad.
not so recently read:
For Whom The Bell Tolls by You Know Whom.
Impossible for me to say enough good about this book.
The Royal Family by William Vollman
This ultimate downfall story traces the path of a man in circa 2000 San Francisco from lower middle class private eye to destitute, via falling in love with a street hooker named The Queen of Whores. Very well written, very crass, very depressing. Interesting because it has a lot of local landmarks and such in it.
.. many others.
