Good. I am going to read Seiobo There Below.

Translated?

Yes, unfortunately. I have Spanish and a small bit of French and Basque under my belt, and I think I'll move on to either German, Latin or ancient Greek next. Do you think I should move directly on to Hungarian?

Also, my good Hungarian, I am wondering how well you like his massive sentence-blocks. Do you find them forced at all?

>long sentences.
Just read the first two.
Honestly it's pretty good.
Not really bothersome.

>learning hungarian
You can't do that in a half assed manner.
And it's not really useful.
Unless you do it because of your heritage.
Learn German.
It's more useful and has plenty of literature.

My thoughts exactly on the German. But I am a mutt, for good or ill, and thus language learning is really just for intrinsic value. I promise you, though, Hungarian is more useful than Basque.

I believe I like the long sentences as well. It gives a very meditative air to the writing, like he's trying to harmonize you with the environs, like he's using the whole of language as a mantra or prayer. That said, he forces you into this mantra pretty violently. No build-up or anything, just a wall of immediate, disjointed description. I, personally, have always emulated writers who varied their sentence structures throughout: terminally long sentences always had a build-up, were never thrown immediately in your face. Of course, it's in no way bad...but was just aesthetically jarring. Even just for that reason alone, I like it.

It all feels very calculated, which is the sign of good experimentation.
