Reading Zero History rn
(Anonymous) 2013-03-19 12:14 am (UTC)(link)Unfortunately I am starting to wonder if the Sprawl trilogy that I was oh-so-serious about for so many years, was written in exactly the same perspective, I just didn't "get" that at the time. Alternately, it might just be the viewpoint character's own quirk/voice, and I missing the bigger picture.
What are you reading, F!S?

(Anonymous) 2013-03-19 12:44 am (UTC)(link)I am the worst rabid Gibson fan because I haven't read that yet. I saw him talk live last year and I love his sense of humour- he's the reason I joined twitter.
I am reading my signed copy of Telegraph Avenue (christmas present) and I am having the hardest time getting through it. I thought I loved Chabon's writing but it's like he's a parody of himself. Knowing nothing about oakland, blackspoitation, or records makes me feel like I need google open to understand half of what's going on.

It is the dude's worst book, I think. The writing is laughable. Especially the erotic scenes. There's one scene where he describes it metaphorically, and it all consists of a wounded amazon riding her horse and then bleeding to death. I literally jumped up and ran laughing through my flat after reading this.
The historical research is incredibly detailed, though. It sure required a shitload of work.

*scurries off to make un-subtle suggestion*
I'm currently re-reading Brideshead Revisited and a couple of Dick Francis mysteries.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-19 05:48 am (UTC)(link)It's also kind of the closest I've ever seen in book form to the way that I write. I don't know, it's hard to put a finger on it, but it's also weird.
