Literary progress
September 4, 2008
Leccy Piccy stalled my booker progress some more, but given how infinitely readable The Secret Scripture is turning out to be I’m hoping to have it finished by the weekend.
On a slightly related note, I’ve been trying to read Ulysses via DailyLit for a few months now, but got stuck after about 30 sections and now have them building up in my feedreader. I may try to get through them at the weekend but not too confident. Seriously, I know it’s “THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL TIME” and all that, but is there anyone out there who can genuinely claim to have read and enjoyed it? Aren’t books meant to be about reading, and if an author is frankly only scaring his readers doesn’t that mean he’s just being more than a little artistically obnoxious?
It may be that I haven’t gotten into it enough yet. Not so sure.
