Bloody brilliant thus far..

This will be a challenge most certainly. It is especially because of the reviews that I'm going into this with skepticism and wide suspicions of it being controversial to my own views. I'm pretty sure I will be offended somewhere rendering the book incomplete, I just know it. Let's see, more power to me if I can comprehend it first.

Momentito! Should I go for John Langan's The Fisherman or The Wide Carnivorous Sky..I can't make up my mind and I can only pick one. What do you think..? Ever appreciative, -m

*shrinks I called that wrong-Full redemption ahead brilliantly executed..

"The rest is silence." Yes absolutely I do concur, the result is a mouth agape and mind-numbing pointlessness. Fifty pages in and I can't help but think, what folderol did I just read?

Also, I'm not reading in order - let that be made clear.

In absolute veracity, this one is a bit more challenging than the rest read thus far for me. The method is quite clever though as close attention is expected.

I've made a guess on the piece I'm currently on. Left and right things are jumping off the page as indicators. In the end, let's see if I'm right.

!

The locks have been changed in my world with this piece. The envelope still remains unopened.

what did you do..?

Luckily, I'm still managing and trying not to rush through it. Ford really is a translator worthy of praise and the little references/explanations given help the reader so much. But going to take a breather coz I don't read much poetry to begin with mhm! I don't mind admitting I'm a neophyte in the field... :D

There are poets who will romance the appearance of a flower; lusting away in extensive verbiage so pronounced that it assaults the reader..making the ordinary feel inept--oops forgive the euphemism--Stupid. What I'm appreciating thus far, is how the fewest possible words allow us to ensue the ruminative process on our own. My first of Roussel so a bit apprehensive, but as the pages go by so does the reason to fret.

There's great strength involved in ignoring tragic circumstances that arise in life ever so and sometimes we can learn a lesson or two from the very kindred and innocent souls whom we dismiss as mere 'fools'. "Shoulders are from God and burdens too."

It is lighthearted in places and not so in others, but such an honesty in approach and its simplicity for the dead of night in which I'm listening is relaxing. Incessant teasing sustained throughout life can lead to insecurity issues in an adult, so it was comforting to hear the protagonist maintain civility in discourse/mannerisms and his willingness to remain compassionate even in horrid situations.

Fast paced as expected, frugal as far as it being challenging-again expected. Easy read for insomniacs such as myself when "it's one of those days."

In the beginning, it seemed rather ordinary...the descriptions just so, the sounds of creatures in the swamp were highlighted etc. Then Kaboom, shot that supposition right down to hell.
