Scott Langston is 20% done with Everything is Illuminated
I’m loathing it so far. No that’s not a mistype. This may be the first book I abandon this year. I’ve liked some of his other stuff but this is just painful.

Scott Langston is 70% done with In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement Is Challenging the Cult of Speed
Urgh... still going. Chapter on Slow Sex was excruciatingly cliché and superficial. Heading for my unfinished shelf I fear...

Not enjoying it very much. Stylistically it jumps around a lot, the anecdotes are often superficial and a little glib. I dislike the assumption that the reader is a workaholic on speed... not sure I’ll finish it but will persevere for now.

Scott Langston is on page 81 of 517 of The Hydrogen Sonata (Culture, #10)
Meh - abandoning for now. The idea might be good, but the writing isn’t. Maybe I should start with the first book, not the tenth?
