Fiction

That is one terrific book.

Had to look up Recognitions. The novel was poorly received initially. Evidently it is quite an odyssey. Writer Jonathan Franzen said that this novel was, "by a comfortable margin, the most difficult book I ever voluntarily read...

Gaddis even says, "I do ask something of the reader and many reviewers say I ask too much . . . and as I say, it’s not reader-friendly. Though I think it is, and I think the reader gets satisfaction out of participating in, collaborating, if you will, with the writer, so that it ends up being between the reader and the page. . ."

So, do pop in once you've finished it in 2074 and let us know what you think.

To Say Nothing of the Dog sounds like one I would enjoy.

Sunblock, sure, mostly I just stay inside. It's 98 - 102 Every. Single. Day. So tired of it
