Joel is on page 131 of 159 of Nikolay Gogol

At this point Nabokov, with characteristic irreverence, relates to the reader Gogol’s embarrassing episode of public seasickness and extreme vomiting.

Absolutely hilarious. I can imagine how mortified Gogol would be to see this published.

Joel is on page 30 of 265 of Something Wicked This Way Comes (Green Town, #2)

Poetic??? Poetic!???? This book threatens to be the worst I have read in years. The writing is a desperate move away from Bradbury’s typical writing; a sloppy pirouette that leaves him prone and embarrassed before you.

It reminds me of how children call for your attention only to do something incredibly stupid- and then look proudly afterward.

Fahrenheit 451 is bad- I may not even finish this
