I quit James Ellroy's new book four hundred pages in, which made me a bit sad, but I really couldn't give a fuck what happened to anyone in the novel and reading it was like a second job, and so I started
Zeitoun, Dave Eggers' non-fiction account of a Syrian contractor that remained in New Orleans after Katrina hit in order to maintain his properties and equipment-- it's an apocalyptic story that seems to take place in a third world country rather than America, and I highly recommend it: thirty-nine starving dogs out of forty.
Dave, how many of these books have you read?
ReplyDeletei bet Dave has read 14 out of 20. but since Netherland appears on the list, i have to invalidate the whole damn thing. i think Dave should make a list of books we should read. and then branch out into things we should do. like, should i get a flu shot? maybe dave's list should be 10 things we should all do today. it would be alot of work for him, but i think the quality of life for his blog readers would be forever improved...
ReplyDeletei am revising my total. i now say that Dave has read 10. 6 from 11-20, and 4 from 1-10.
ReplyDeleteby the way, this is what happens when i don't have soccer practice on a saturday morning...
