Nausea - Satre

Was Albert Camus a better goalkeeper than George Orwell? Have your say here.

If only to start a new thread, what's wrong with ya'll? Surely someone among us has read a book of late?

Anyhow, Nausea, yeh, disturbing so far and I'm only 10 pages in.

The heightened awareness of inanimate objects struck a chord. In fact I fear this is a book so aware of itself, that I'll be in it before long.

Quite frightening.

Sartre is poopy, his road to freedom trilogy is just a grind...

I've never read any Sartre but kudos to Lars for using the word "poopy".

Book wise I am half through Pynchon "Against the Day", an easier read then V or Gravitys Rainbow.

Have also just finished, again, "Slaughterhouse 5" and would highly recommend "Doctor Glas" by Hjalmar Soderberg, which I found was excellant.

On the poetry front I keep dipping into "Actual Air" by Dave Beman, lead singer of the Silver Jews.

so there we go.
