I don't often read non-fiction but its pretty compelling so far so I'll stick with it.

Next up is Heart of the Dog.

Currently unironically reading Infinite Jest for the first time

This. It's okay. DFW is clearly a very sheltered person.

The Savage Detectives
It's nice but I'm not sure about the format. But then again I'm only at 30% or so. Great atmosphere, at any rate.
Not sure what's next, might finally finish Outlaws of the Marsh.

A collection of Ezra Pound's poetry.
I don't get it.
The Greeks.

Glass Bead Game

So far it is a very fascinating read but as I'm only 200 pages deep I feel like I haven't come across the part of the work that makes it as praised as it is.

Next up is Butcher's Crossing

Correction

It's very much in line with the standard Bernhard formula of someone obsessing over an artist, scientist, or other sort of eccentric figure who's either dead or dying along with their ideas and the (typically quackish or absurd in some way) "work" they left behind.

I'll probably read The Tunnel next.

oresteia, psalms and book of disquiet.

finished agamenmon yesterday, will read choephoroe today and some psalms or maybe I even finish oresteia with eumenides.
have started recently with the greek playwrights, read the others by aeschylus and they have been very comfy, I specially enjoyed prometheus bound, my favorite so far.

the psalms (kjv) are pretty comfy too, I was pretty excited to get to them, so now I am slowly enjoying them.

on the book of disquiet, to be completely honest I am at the point I just want to finish already, I am not enjoying it as much as I did in the first 100 pages, it has some really great pieces but (gonna get some heat for this) all the sad babbling gets old (at least for me). its a good book overall though.

I was going to just go through all playwrights, so I was going to sophocles after oresteia, but I will do the moby dick reading group, so I will finish oresteia, finish the book of disquiet and finish psalms before june 17, and then will start moby dick. If I manage to finish these 3 books a while before 17, I will probably read the stranger or woolf's the waves. along with moby dick will keep reading the kjv and maybe re-read divine comedy, since I will be on vacation and I will have plenty of time.

I felt kind of the same way with Disquiet. Its a beautiful book but, like, I get it?
