It's my second time too. Some of his stuff feels too distant, knowing to really do it for me. This has the same virtuosity in terms of style and the same 'classic Delillo' set-pieces, but it also seems to have a bit more of a heart. I still hate his dialogue though. People try to use theory to justify it but it's his one real flaw as far as I'm concerned.

oh, i didn't make it to the armor i think. the sentences just caused me pain. hard to explain really. i could go on a phrase by phrase analysis if i could copypaste a text here, but i don't want to kill other people's joy or suggest anything is wrong with their pleasure. i'm the one with the liver problems. definitely enjoy it if you do! |

I feel like I am not reading enough, tho.
Can't wait to spend next month's money on some Richard Yates stuff, haven't read anything by him yet and people seem to like him. I WANT! I WANT!

Have you read Humbold's Gift? For some reason that one's my fav. I have a lot of his later stuff sitting around. Can't really muster the energy to read Dean's December or anything beyond, just like I haven't read his first few books. I certainly like a lot of the middle books, but I'm squarely in the "way the fuck overrated" category. Quote:
Fuck off Still Life With Woodpecker - Tom Robbins Eh. Birthday Stories - Selected and Introduced by Haruki Murakami Yeah Slouching Towards Bethlehem - Joan Didion Yes The Year of Magical Thinking - Joan Didion The ULTIMATE bathroom book. Took a year of shits to finish. The Collected Stories of (-) Lydia Davis Sentence by sentence, she's a master. Kind of mean though. The Collected Stories - Lorrie Moore ? Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy - Tao Lin ? Everything Was Fine Until Whatever - Chelsea Martin ? During my Nervous Breakdown I Want to Have a Biographer Present - Brandon Scott Gorrell ?
