How's campaign trail? Been thinking about getting it. Coincidentally, i'm about to read Hunter Thompson's In Las Veags, just finished Mythology (Edith Hamilton)

im about 250 pages in or so. of course its very contextually based but its a great accounting of a time in history and it has some great universal truths about politics in the form of hunter's usual rambling writings. I feel like it was probably more effective as it was coming out, now its more of a historical reference of the 72 campaign via the lens of hunter s. thompson, essentially making it one of the best works of the new journalism movement

I'm against reading more than one book at a time, but it just so happens that sometimes there's so much good shit to read you can't decide which one to stick to. Such is the case with me. Here are the books I'm reading atm
Women and Men - Joseph McElroy
The Book Of The New Sun - Gene Wolfe
Son & Xon - Thomas Pynchon

Fell for the 'start with the Greeks' meme so I'm reading Iliad right now (Fagman translation). It's raw as fuck though I love it. Dude getting murked left and right.

Also White Noise is a really cool novel, good choice. How do you like it so far?

If it doesn't click for you by the end of Part 1, stop reading. The tone and themes should have been laid out fairly strongly by then.

I finished it and enjoyed it for the most part.

Mistborn

I don't know if it's good or not

Godspeed, lad.

I've been off and on with Voyage au bout de la nuit for a while. My French is v rusty. Does anyone recommend any resources for French idioms and sayings? Céline is so damn conversational in his wirting, it's sometimes hard for me to follow.

About to also start Confederacy of Dunces, what should I expect from it?
