The Reading List
I almost started reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow tonight. But I've been working on Neal Stephenson's Anathem for awhile, and I guess I should stick with it. I like it well enough, but as a work of experimental fiction, it sometimes requires a little effort.
I'm also halfway through Steal This Computer Book 4.0. And Jack Wallen's passed me his copy of Battle Royale, which looks very intriguing. My brain's tired, though, and I'm not sure I could keep the characters straight tonight.
Oh well.
So far this year I've only read two books: Douglas Coupland's The Gum Thief (it was OK, but no comparison to Microserfs) and an abridged version of Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage. I so enjoyed Undaunted Courage (the story of Lewis and Clark) that I'm now working on the complete book (19 CDs) in the car.
Some 13 texts currently sit on my on-deck bookshelf. Highlights include Chernow's Alexander Hamilton, Isaacson's Einstein, McCullough's Mornings on Horseback and David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.
