Thus was NOT the SF escape from the news I was looking for. And recomendmend it for everyone
If I were king thus story would ukd be universally tahght in middme school.

Struggling the the continued relevency in the age of social and right-wing media.

and bogged down in it a bit. I have a lot of other reading so I think i will lay this aside until I can give it fuller attention.

All of Patrice's trashy novels have been posting up here since I bought her a Kindle and put it on my account. Y'all must have thought I'd lost my mind.

I am finding the hardcover edition virtually unreadable for someone with corrected vision, the type is so small and closely spaced. This is a poorly designed edition clearly intended to save the publisher money. I am likely going to return it to Amazon and try to find a trade-paperback copy that is readable.

In my house, light reading comes in the form of chapbooks. I needed a book I could completely escape into. Not urban fantasy or science fiction. My flight is from my current phase of adulthood. And I had seen the animated film countless times with the kids.

Definitely falls into the category of juvenalia, but I''m enjoying his youthful eye taking in Castille from the view of a born Andalusian. It reminds me of my expatrite year in America Norte.

Probably the last thing I should be reading in my current state of mind, but each page compels you to the next. Like all of Beckett (as of life): bleak, mad, brilliant.

Jist marvelous. , I don't know how escaped my notice intil now.

Rather glad to be rid of Malone, the nasty brute. I wonder if Beckett felt much the same of, say, Hamm in Endgame. Was he crucifying his most un-Christ-like victims one by one to redeem the world of its bleak horror?

I love this book. It can be a difficult slog when it lapses into Marxist Anthropological Jargon (all of which is spot on, just unfamiliar after so many years out of school). The access into the world of homeless addicts the authors achieved is remarkable, and the portraits of the addicts and their lives is heart wrenching. Surprisingly, my mostly 20-something suburban classmates are drawn into this book as well.

The essential work on the fascinating and iconic New Orleans poet Everette Maddox. Currently rereading for a project I am working on.

On my second read & not sure I'm interested enough in this surrealist puzzle to spend the time to decode it. Going to loan it to someone who asked & come back to it later. Fascinating but difficult.
