I love Pynchon-y Ginsburg-y writers that want to trap you in their bubbling cartoon cauldron brains and make you bounce around in chaotic orbit until you can't quite explain but can feel where you're going and why. I'm not there yet with Vonnegut, nor with any of the authors I mentioned, but I'm getting there and, meanwhile, enjoying the trip.

Hector and Sue, stfu please. "Yeah, we already have 19 children, but there's a severely mentally disabled child and an 8-person Sudanese family of refugees that neeeds us."

This book is starting to wear me down. It's not really evolving, just piling on more examples of do-gooding.

Ok, aquí me rindo. Esto ha sido un muy buen reto, y había partes interesantes, pero simplemente nunca me enganchó. Muchas gracias a mi amigo de blablacar daniel por haberme recomendado este aunque no fuera my cup of tea.

¿Adónde vamos Mariana? Y cuando por fin lleguemos, ¿recordaremos siquiera por qué nos fuimos en primer lugar?

Me queda fé, pero no es infinito

Vaya, se volvió oscuro de golpe. Hasta un nivel nuevo para mi en la literatura. Me gusta mucho la representación de la Oscuridad.

Pero qué me cansa la manera, que parece así, en que Enríquez escribe, de vez en cuando, las oraciones, cortadas e interrumpidas cada 7 palabras, cuando mucho, por que siento estar en un bus con un conductor al que no le importa el viaje suave de nadie.

Que un demonio se coma a Juan pronto, este padre de mierda

Book 15 here we go

God this is so sick

"José Arcadio felt himself lifted up into the air toward a state of seraphic inspiration, where his heart burst forth with an outpouring of tender onscenities that entered the girl through her ears and came out of her mouth translated into her language."

The book flows like one long sentence, yet each sentence is its own redwood, towering and beautiful and holding on to every ring of its long history.

This is beautiful

Feeling a bit like I got split up from my mom at the supermarket. A little worried, but mostly confused, watching all these people towards me and expecting help or maybe just clarity from them, only for them to pass right by and not look back.

Mexican poet fucking and fucking up. This is great. I've decided to only read horny intellectuals from now on

This is good

Estoy tan tan aburrido en mi trabajo ahora.

Este libro está bien al momento, pero solo estoy en el principio. Estoy leyendo muy lento.

This is not fun I am not having a good time. Adding to its mountain of culpability, it turns out the Israel Lobby was largely responsible for the Iraq war too.
