I am reading The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffiths. A Ruth Galloway mystery. It was supposed to be a quick read, but got busy with some stuff, so going slowly.
What about all of you? What are you reading, or listening these days?
Note: So, I posted this last week, but for some issue with federation it didn’t actually sync. So, this will be another one and half week post.
Finished Absalom, Absalom!, read If on a winter’s night a traveler, started The Crying of Lot 49.
For much of the time I was reading Absalom, Absalom!, it used exhausting language to describe events it mostly failed to make me interested in. That got better once a critical mass of unexpected turns accumulated; my final impression is pretty good.
Demian Veen (from Ada, or Ardor) might even largely be a reference to Thomas Sutpen. In fact, there could be dozens of Faulkner references in Ada I’d entirely missed due to ignorance of Faulkner at the time. I guess I’ll reread it later.
