definitely “Pynchon Lite,” but that’s still a great read as far as i’m concerned. not sure why so many Pynchon snobs have turned that designation derogatory. the man was in his 70s when he published IV & Bleeding Edge, & gifted the world Mason & Dixon (his late masterpiece) & Against the Day (his longest novel) in his 60s. IV is more sentimental & more expository (these made more sense once my perspective changed by the end) than his best novels, but it’s still a super fun, hilarious, & ultimately a bit depressing, read w/ plenty of Pynchonisms & subtleties to keep me satisfied in regards to late-career output. + it was way better than Vineland.

Currently reading 48 laws of power, Cthulhu Mythos (collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories), and basically a compendium of Nikola Tesla research writings.

up next is 33 Strategies of War (Robert Greene), need to pick up the latest Dresden Files novels as well, and the last 2 books in the Lightbringer (Brent Weeks) series.

If you like Robert Greene, you should also give Mastery a read.
 
I’m a little over 200 pages into Eye of The World. It’s been a bit of a drag to be honest. The author goes into too much detail about the environment. The female characters are pretty annoying.
 
Still slogging my way through book 6 of The Malazan Tale of The Fallen: The Bonehunters.

Books 1-4 were excellent. 5 and 6, mehhhh. I'm having/had trouble getting into them.

Is there only 6 total in the series.
 
Tried to read a book last week when my power was out for 4 days and I just can't read the small print. It's all blurry. Feels bad man. :(
 
I'm in the midst of reading the chinese pornographic classic "The Carnal Prayer Mat".

Believe it or not, Don Quixote. I've always wanted to read it but was turned off by the size. I have a copy of Putnam's translation and its good, but have read that Grossman's translation is better. I may get a copy of her's to see the difference in the two in what I've read so far.

I remember loving the movie in high school. I watched it again fairly recently and though there are still parts that I love, the movie is kind of a mess, and the overacting is rough.

Just started the book last night and really enjoying it.
