Reading Stuff #802

Finished Post Office yesterday, read in under 30 hours. He's really "light". Lately I've started thinking about books and authors in terms of "density". Salinger's Catcher was pretty thick. I mean, packed. Page+ long paragraphs at times. Bukowski, otoh, was bite sized, popcorn. Quickest read for me since Douglas Adams.

The fact that the protagonist in Post Office was a lowlife alcoholic slacker was awesome. I've know quite a few Chinaskis in my time. Lazy as hell, drunk all the time, and still somehow manage to keep going.

Working on Asimov's Foundation now. I'd thought I'd actually somehow never read anything he'd written, but in fact I have. Years ago I read a book he wrote with someone else, that was made into a gawdawful movie. Nightfall. Go read it, 's good.

Sadly, I have nothing on deck. I was thinking about this paperback of Bulfinch's King Arthur stuff, but it's 600 pages long and I'm afraid I'd get bogged down on it.
