Started on Super Sad True Love Story, by the same author as Absurdistan...
He warned of the dangers of progressive house in Absurdistan, saying that Detroit ghetto tech is the only true genre of electronic music. |
Finished the book this morning. It was really, really good.
I would recommend anyone that has an interest in sci-fi or near-future works check it out, its disturbingly depressing. :p |

After reading what is out of Kimi no Iru Machi (which is pretty good so far, I liked Seo's other work, Suzuka a lot) I got some actual physical books to read.
I am reading this right now:
It's pretty intense. I bought a few other books of his and a couple Larry Bond books on similar subjects. |

At long last, Levi Johnston's book has been released. Not that anyone takes this redneck seriously, but did he design the cover himself? Antlers in the title... icy mountains at the bottom? What?
| quote: | "I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins, my sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace -- how I feel and what I've learned," Johnston said in a statement released by his publisher. "I'm doing this for me, for my boy Tripp and for the country."
According to Vice President and Publisher of Touchstone Stacy Creamer, "This is a sweet and funny book with a touch of irony; a fascinating tale of a misunderstood boy figuring out how to be a man and a father after being thrust into the spotlight and subsequent media circus at a very young and vulnerable age." "Levi has seen the Palin family up close and personal and is ready to tell his story." |
:stongue:
Right. Just an innocent victim of circumstance thrust into the spotlight, now ready to tell his story. This kid is the biggest attention whore ever. |

While I wouldn't necessarily call it a fine novel, Lord Henry's mono/dialogues are some snazzy stuff. Yet for sheer wit, I feel The Importance of Being Earnest is a superior work - there are passages where virtually line is a snappy comeback.
I've 32 pages left in the first volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time: Swann's Way. Part I - Combray pretty much blew my mind, being not so much a narrative as a collection of impressions so ethereal I more or less read it twice because I reread just about every paragraph before moving on to the next to ensure I wholly grasped the text. Part II - Swann in Love was a much easier read yet less enjoyable; Proust exchanges psychological perceptions for a bumbling romance amidst a bunch of snobs. Part III - Place-Names: The Name (what an odd title) redeems the work by returning to the style of Part I. Being a book written in such a peculiar style, I can't really say much else about it... |
