@caymanchess I think he’s that level. Granted, I’m only 150 pages in, but I am wowed. This is sort of historical fiction, but also a psychological study, a saga, a work of great writing. I’m shocked it didn’t win every award, but again—I’m just starting it.

“God help thee, old man, thy thoughts have created a creature in thee…”
Back in touch with my favorite high-school English teacher, always such a lightning bolt of intensity and enthusiasm. It feels good to recharge.
The experience of reading Infinite Jest: “American experience seems to suggest that people are virtually unlimited in their need to give themselves away, on various levels.” So DFW gives himself to an encyclopedic novel and asks us readers to give themselves to it, in turn.
Going to buy a used car, forgot my current reads, stopped and bought this at a library sale. Classic high-school text to revisit in a 20-year-old Mustang headed to Manchvegas.

@damiankelleher Reminds me of my to-read collection. Carry on!
A brave soul took Rolvaag’s Giants of the Earth from my free library. You love to see it.
@PaulEhrlich13 He’s a new major favorite. This book is amazing so far. I love that it’s written in a formal style I associate with the 19th-century, but it’s still easily readable and not gimmicky. And the imagery is fantastic.
Jesus, this man can think and illuminate. Cheating on my other novels because this one has been waving at me for months and not sorry I relented. Curious now how high I can juggle.
Found for free. I’m going to learn something from this, when I read it.
@realMattKParker 🍷 Exactly how I feel: despair. But it’s also so deliciously fun to read.
Having finished Knausgaard’s The Morning Star, I’m wanting something compulsively readable, but also fiending for a woman up in here. The face-off:
@amoffatt17 Interesting. I have Lincoln in the Bardo and A Swim in a Pond in the Rain…
My son asked, “Can you make a living being a really good guy and writing well?” And I answered, “I think that’s George Saunders,” but now I have to read him and see. Also, I know GS teaches at Syracuse, so his income is from more than writing.
@ajmandal15 Yes! I came by The Visiting Privilege recently…
@andrewbertaina Champion reader. El Jefe! 🍷🍷🍷
@realMattKParker Yeah. I definitely prefer to buy used. I’d just splurge if I was totally hooked and my local indie didn’t have it. Fuerte! 💪🏻
