>what are you reading
About halfway through Thoreau's Maine Woods. Incredible stuff. This guy was operating with a literary IQ way off the charts. The most casual and innocuous of encounters are rendered in the most graceful of prose with just a whimsical flick of the pen. Remarkable. We virgins have a storied history, and don't let anybody tell you different!

When I read him (a long time ago, admitedly) it just seemed to me like his perspective was shallow.

>>10632348
That's fine. I've always felt an aversion to HST. But I don't care what people read of course.

>>10632344
Sure. I just meant that by the time he was in the alley the case had resolved or started to, didn't it. It's hard for me to remember these books mind you. I have only read them one time and it has been a couple of years.

>>10632331
Interesting question. I think reading has made me less scared generally. But I'll think more on this.

>>10632325
I've never heard of Skag Boys. I dislike the rest.

Yeah but just imagining him living in an alley for months for a case that doesn't need him is so brutal that I was in awe. I thought then that Auster must be slightly crazed which I admire in a writer.

What do you get from posting this? Weak.

>>10632277
The ending of the first book really caught me off guard. Not in a plot sense necessarily but just the fact that an author would steer his story in that direction. I had expected him to be some wry, mannered, fancy boy but it turns out he has courage. And he writes about interesting things. I'm considering reading his new one but it sounds a little silly.

James Joyce was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me.

>>10632267
I don't care what he has to say but I'll give it a look if I'm here.
