Look what I just found in my book. Must have been there for years.

Maybe I should finally read Pedro Paramo.

I'm taking this as a sign that you need to read Pedro Paramo and I need to read the Wake asap.

he makes a lot of the insect/incest play on words.

There's incest in Padro Paramo too

I've started too many books recently, so it might be a while.

 

[Benny Bunter]

I've nearly finished it again, it's really short. Probably be a while before i get round to the Wake too, I'm reading PP, the grapejuice book, some shakespeare and I've got a copy of Moby Dick on the way as well. It's too much though, I dunno how jenks does it.

 

[version]

I go through phases of starting loads and jumping between them. I don't lose track of any of them, but if one becomes a slog then it takes forever to get through because I'll keep picking up the others and avoid going back to it. That's what's happened with the Vollmann reader, Cyclonopedia and the Marlon James I started ages ago. They're in a stack half finished atm while I jump between the other five I've got going.

I'm very into to the idea of synchronicities lately though with reading grapejuice, and I love how they keep cropping up on dissensus, especially lately with the thread on jung getting bumped, that mad coincidence between the prynne/prelude threads and now the insects in the books thing. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting about.

I had a period a while ago where my birthday kept cropping up in things I was reading online.

So good yr all reading the wake

 

[version]

I'm tempted, but haven't caved yet.

 

[catalog]

I thought you read it already.

 

[version]

No, just bits of it.

@line b, how does it make you feel? Is it rewiring you? What's happening to your brain?

No not really albeit I haven't done a long sustained read of it. I'm basically approaching it like a massive crossword and it's fun
