Wittgenstein had a very artistic temperament. No wonder so many people are drawn to him instead of his work. I cried when David Pinsent died.

Sorry,

Spring and All is fun so far. Cute.
White Noise feels both relevant and dated simultaneously.
The Black Jacobins is fascinating, although I'm only a few chapters in.

It's my second time reading Leaves of Grass. I'm enjoying it far more than the first time, which was some years ago.

The Aleph is entertaining. Several of the stories are very good, but I thought Labyrinths more impressive so far.

Working my way through Fitzgerald's Iliad. Just got to Book Five I believe, been putting off reading a lot though despite enjoying the book a lot. I feel like the argument between Agamemnon and Achilles hasn't been dissected properly as an ethical dilemna in modern terms, and that question (and others like it, such as Paris challenging and cheating Menalaos) so cleanly drives the rest of the narrative, at least from what I've read.

>The Group by Mary McCarthy

I'm learning a lot about women.

I did the CoMC reading group around Christmas time, and although I found it comfy and entertaining with some possible implied criticism, I, ultimately, felt that it had been a waste of time. I felt that what one puts in to reading that semi-commercialized crowd pleasing behemoth is not adequately returned. Is there anything you can tell me to change my mind / make me feel that I didn't waste that many hours of my life? I can see how, in your case, that it might be nice to unwind and take breathers with something as light at the CoMC while you're reading Ulysses simultaneously.

>Nine Stories, by Salinger

Finished it last night. Boy was it a ride. Salinger is an excellent short story writer. If you think The Catcher in the Rye or Salingwr are memes, get some real education and read this book. You'll thank me later.

whats Augustus like? I'm considering checking it out. I enjoyed I, Claudius and Stoner.

I'd say that Augustus is just as heavy in feeling as Stoner was for me (and should be for any man willing to accept and embody the circumstances of any given time and then live out the experiences of said time). The structure is particularly interesting. The entire novel is a compilation of letters. We see a myriad of perspectives on each circumstance, and the development of these characters through their individual voices is extremely personal in feeling. Due to the rate of events occurring at a much slower rate when compared to Stoner, Augustus, as a result of this, moves much slower (I also find myself reading it at a much slower rate). This is not to say, by any means, that this work drags. There is just significantly more attention given to detail (visually in addition to the complicated webs of intrigue). I would certainly recommend it to anyone who either enjoys Williams' other works or who is interested in possessing beautiful images of Rome's personages and its culture.

thanks for the reply, it sounds like what I hoped it would be. I'll check it out.

I already like you simply by the fact that you enjoy Salinger. You're also my age, and live in a dope city. You seem like a cool guy, desu. I'd hang out with you irl.

Read Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenter-- And Seymour.

You'll thank me later.

You should come, man. It's a shitty plave if you live here, but if you just come to visit it's actually quite nice. I was going to read the rest of Salinger's stories and novellas (Franny and Zooey, the ones you mentioned, the three recently undisclosed stories), but I think I'll do it later. I need to digest his Nine Stories thoroughly first.

If you ever come to Mexico City, keep me posted brah, I know some cool places that tourists usually don't go to. Although we probably won't ever meet again on this board.

AToTC isn't my favorite Dickens, but it's fine so far. Only about a third of the way into it. Interrogating the Real is also good so far. My background in Lacan isn't super strong, but there's a glossary in the back that was somewhat helpful. I just recently read Looking Awry as well.

Might just hop over to The Myth Of Sisyphus, I dunno.
