![]() i think martin amis might be a far better non-fiction writer than a fiction one. |
Just finished:
![]() Altogether, very good, and made Savannah my top place to visit over the summer. The ending sections felt rushed though. Started last night, already 1/4 finished: ![]() |

What's that like? I've heard the science in it is really impenetrable. |
Finished Less Than Zero. I liked it. Going to pick up American Psycho again. I stopped reading it after about 100 pages because of the verbose nature and it not being in the same break-neck pace as Ellis' other books.

![]() I almost bought this the other day, is it any good? Instead I bought this ![]() and it is delightful. |

The first 3/4 are excellent if you like murder/court drama and colorful Southern Gothic characters. The last sections of the book are EXTREMELY rushed, it seemed to me. I'd rate it a 7.4/10 |

Awesome, awesome book!

I've shelved Badiou's Being and Event for now in favor of returning to some fiction and have picked up A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

and only $2 (+shipping:() although one reviewer gave it 1/5 because "...the entire book has NOTHING about Jack Parsons...:mad:" have you thus far found this problematic? |

its ok, but its not a good read if you are trying to avoid philosophy - try finnegans wake. |
I'm not trying to avoid philosophy, per se. Treatise reading has left me the teariest.

![]() Enjoying it so far. I like the slow slip into strange fantasy from a seemingly normal world. Everything seems to fit. Nicely written. |

well, the book opens with his death. although I'm only through with a little bit, the book appears to be more about the strange secret life that he left behind (and his death exposed). I argue with his black fascinations, his theories are sound (and not unlike my own). the only difference between magic and science is one's perceived level of understanding in the subject. I say perceived because, finite minds can never truly encapsulate the infinite (and that very well could have killed him). |
