Philip Gordon is on page 154 of 355 of Revolutionary Road
Enjoying this book immensely so far. Getting early glimmers of Delillo's 'White Noise' in a much slimier, suburban lense.

Revolutionary Road

Philip Gordon is on page 60 of 112 of Methodist Hatchet
Feeling mostly frustrated w/ this book rn. A review compared it to Finnegans Wake and I think I agree--I'm having a hard time getting meaning out of the poems, and am mostly upset by them. I feel bad for my inability to comprehend this text fully.

Philip Gordon is on page 145 of 288 of Lolita
trying to get through Lolita again - the prose is beautiful, but it's SO dense. huge swaths of description and detail which seem to serve no purpose. not sure if it's worth slowing through or not.

Philip Gordon is on page 158 of 463 of The God Delusion
I feel that this book might be redundant if you've watched any amount of Dawkins' talks/speeches/debates, but there's some interesting language and minutiae of the argument that are worth reading so far.

Holy good GOD this book is heavy handed. I love Eggers but I'm really considering putting this down based on how clunky it is.

Philip Gordon is on page 75 of 341 of A Visit from the Goon Squad
I am LOVING this book right now. No surprise that the highest rated review is "THIS BOOK IS COMPLETELY WORTHLESS"—reminds me of an article I read recently about people responding negative to literature because they don't 'understand' it. Not to be elitist... anyway. This book is great! Can't wait to finish it. :D

Philip Gordon is on page 43 of 354 of How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry
This book feels like every argument against the study of poetry to me. Hoping it will change my mind further on.
