I love it, it's a very comfy read.

A Wizard of Earthsea

It's very well-written, Le Guin has a comfy style of writing.

Sense and sensibility. Not as good as pride and prejudice. Kinda dragging on a bit. If these last 80 pages aren't gold I'll be upset.

I'm going to Cali for 10 days at the end of August, never been before, any recommendations? I'm going with some friends, all in our early 20s.

>The Power of Babbel by John McWhorter
It's very informative in it's chosen subject (linguistics), although the long winded paragraphs are rendering me unable to read very much in one sitting.

Loving it like I've never loved a book before. I want to sleep close to it. It's insane.

Okinawa Japan
In Search of Lost Time
I fucking love it. Comfiest book I've ever read. It's inspired me to practice writing long sentences as well

What do you mean with long sentences?

In what way?

Chicago
Hard Rain Falling
A freely flowing, easy read- smacks of On the Road, but less romanticized and a bit rawer in character development and social commentary.

Memorias de mis putas tristes - Gabriel García Márquez

I'm liking it so far. A short read, with Gabriel's distinctively colorful characters.

What part of Cali?
If the southern coast, go to Santa Monica Beach then walk to Venice Beach. That'll occupy you guys for a night

Slaughterhouse-Five

Currently reading Skeletons at the Feast. Almost done! Really great book, and I love the smell. It's a delight to read. I love all the characters, and the plot is gripping to me.

Southern/Northern California

El Tunel - Sabato
On Deconstruction - Culler
Nightwood - Djuna Barnes

El Tunel is mostly for learning, On Deconstruction is fantastic, and Nightwood is horrible, platitude-ridden shit.

Sharpe's Eagle
It's pretty good so far, really does what historical fiction should in terms of delving into the minutia.

21
Leipzig, Germany
The Brothers Karamazov

I read it when I was 17 and didn't get everything (obviously). I'm on page 140 so far and enjoy it even more than the first time. I love Dostoyevsky's characters and how much time he takes for a scene, how carefully he sets up everything.

Bogotá
Montaigne's Essays

It's fantastic. I thouth it would be really boring, long, repetitive, and non-interesting. But as soon as I started found out it was really good. It's not filled with senseless trash, instead gives an interesting perspective on a lot of things relevant today in everyday life. Recommended.

I don't think I've been so immersed in a book this much before. Looking for more after I'm finished with this series (or book, they are long, but still fun)

Just finished Infinite Jest
I'm pretty ambivalent to it. I'm happy its over, and I enjoyed most of it, but it won't be something I'll come back to

The Last Wish

Great collection of shorts

>Trivializing it makes me look smart

As in how to write a sentence that's longer than average, and feels like watching a train wreck in slow motion; the train never crashes though, it just slides back on to the tracks, easy to follow, and a beautiful sight.

She by H Rider Haggard

Not that great. Haggard seems to have an idea of how long a paragraph is. He doesn't stop until he gets there, either, so some ideas get stretched out for lines and lines until you no longer care

You know, like in this paragraph he describes the horror of endless death and living through the ages stained with sin even though that sin may be centuries old, always there, perhaps to someday be cleansed. The next paragraph is him describing a chair. And they're both the same length

The tortured Middle English in place of Arabic is grating, as well

Haggard does seem to have a grisly, dark view of death, though

"What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions" from the guy from XKCD
It's interesting. I only read this kind of books anymore. Haven't read a "literature" book for at least 15 years. Don't have the patience 'cause it completely bores the heck out of me.

Gulliver's travels. I'm really liking it, very entertaining and comfy. I'm impressionable enough that it's affecting my view of politics and morality.
