Alright, alright, I am back and have decided to just make this into a 'normal blog,' despite my initial resistance to such a thing!! This blog's overarching aim will still be the detailing of books that I have read, mostly, but I think I will perhaps add other things as well!
Also, would like to add that perhaps in 2012 my approach will be slightly different, in that I will attempt (perhaps) to write about the books that I have read at greater length, and perhaps with a smidgen more seriousness -- though I suppose that will vary widely on the book. Here's a song:
N.B.: in case I actually do what I set out to do (an incredibly rare thing) I would like to disown every 'review' I have written here. Sorry! "Priests don't have opinions" - Diary of A Country Priest; I am priestly in nature!

Received several bookstore gift cards for Christmas so I bought a few books you've written about here (The Suitcase, The Third Reich, Montano's Malady and Europeana). I'll let you know what I think! I'm gonna be starting one of them soon, as soon as I finish this reread of 2666. My broad got me the edition that's in three volumes, and I'm almost done. Think I might start with Europeana, simply because that one has the coolest cover. Keep it up, broseph.
ReplyDeleteOh shit, awesome! I think you will like all of those books! Especially Europeana. That is awesome that you are re-reading 2666, because I am planning on doing that this year too! Let me know what you think of all of those books, and if you have read anything recently that you think I would like! Send me an email sometime (scastillo01.student@manhattan.edu) :)
