Status Updates From Seven Samurai Swept Away in...

somehow progressing reaaaaaaalllly slowly. it's such a difficult work to get through. the repetitions are annoying me now

Whatever it is, it works. Mostly. I am not pushing myself to finish this, that's for sure. So I'll stick around and continue this and I'll update.

Jung Young Moon's Seven Samurai Swept Away in a River both frustrates and entertains me. I cannot stand the paragraph-long sentences, yet somehow I find them enjoyable as well. I have no idea why. Maybe it's his clear way of writing that differs from Fosse's A Shining that causes me to perceive it as more digestible. Maybe the lack of humor, as opposed to Kanai's Mild Vertigo, is to blame for its tedious writing.

I've been reading books that use streams of consciousness as a writing style, and I find that it's overwhelming for me (what with all the run-on sentences that goes on and on), but I enjoy the sense of being in someone else's head. Mieko Kanai's Mild Vertigo works really well for me, but Fosse's A Shining frustrates me more than it entertains me.
