What's a little sin to see us through?

 
Finished Underworld an was very, very impressed. There's something about his style that bugs me - in places it's very clinical and detached - but I'm 99.5% certain that it's deliberate. It's a fantastic novel though, brilliantly thought out and flwaless in its construction. I won't be rushing out to read every word he's ever written like I do with some writers, but will definitely be reading some more of his in the future. I can imagine this book becoming a staple text of modern American literature courses though, if it hasn't already, and given that it was written thirteen years ago I reckon it probably has.

Been having a spin through Madness and Civilisation: a history of insanity in the age of reason by Foucault today.

Interesting stuff.

Boooooooooring!

It's a very, very important book though, no arguments about that. Incidentally, I watched a film called Gentleman's Agreement today. It's an old film about a journalist who gets comissioned to write a series of articles on anti-Semitism. It's very similar to To Kill A Mockingbird and is a pretty good watch if it ever happens to come your way.

I was going to say it's a wholly inaccurate word to use in my direction but I'd've p*ssed myself laughing if you had. I like that word a lot, although I'm not sure if it's a cromulent one

Wallowing in the crapulence of this film, still, I can't seem to look away. This is not the way to get healthy!

Just read USA by John Dos Passos (epic modernist monster that I've only ever dipped into before but well worth the effort). Next up is some Raymond Carver short stories. Read them all before but that guy was the king of them all.

Rayanne Graff: His name is George. Also, he started Spam.
Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.
the doc: Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
I Cunt Spell: YOU'RE ALL OLD
