Yet another useless update message

I know -- when I said tomorrow, I lied.

This seems to be a blog composed solely of my excuses, so I have to apologize profusely. More will come up. However, an interesting update: I've been considering buying Bolano's 2666. I believe anything he writes is absolutely brilliant. I'm considering whether or not it's worth keeping because the book (or the copy with the three mini-books) is $30, which is a little much for me.

I've just gotten through the Alexandria Quartet again. I'm going to save a post or few about those books later on. There is much that is wonderful about them and there is a lot left to be desired. Durrell is a fantastic writer whose conception of reality has come under fire a lot, especially during discussions of postcolonial theory.

Eat Pray Love is that mythical review: each time I swear I'll write it, I never do. It's like the jinx that kills the project. I won't let it kill this one! I swear -- I just won't!
