And Now the Time for Big Books Is Come
You might say I've suddenly developed a fondness for commitment, but I think it has more to do with coincidence. At any rate, I'm going to be with the books I'm currently reading for quite a while.
First up is 2666, at 898 rather large pages.
Then we have The Guermantes Way, in an 800-page edition that I'm convinced was produced with the seeing impaired in mind.
I'm also Faustus-inspires to tackle Buddenbrooks (And I think I'll also get to The Magic Mountain, once I drag it out from whatever box its been sitting in the past couple years.)
I suppose this is some sort of literary karma for all those slender Argentine novels I read earlier in the year.
bon appetit !

Why not have The Man Without Qualities for dessert?

DC--That's a good idea. I've been looking for an excuse.
The Internet, aka TSAC--oops!

Oh dear. I seem to have sprouted a "mini-me" and he's not even funny.

We'll consider that a testament to the high fidelity of the copy.

Hey, it's not that I'm not delighted to have my very own stalker; you're certainly more interested in me than I would be in you, if I knew who you were. Keep up the, uh, good work...!
