at the moment i'm about 60 pages off finishing middlemarch. which i really enjoyed. it has seemed like an intellectual soap opera.
Middlemarch is deadly
Oops no, I'm thinking of "Brideshead revisited". That's deadly. Never read Middlemarch
I'm currently picking at a collection of Philip Larkin's prose writing, which is very good. His dismissal of modernism (exemplified by the 3 Ps - Picasso, Ezra Pound, Charlie Parker) is funny.

I'm a few chapters into Vernon God Little. I can't say I'm too impressed. The style seems to be a cheap imitation of Catcher in the Rye. The prose isn't very natural and with each sentence you can sense the author trying to be clever, but it just comes across as very forced. Its a Booker prize winning book, so I was expecting more. I don't know, maybe it'll improve....
Anyone else read this?

Currently juggling and thoroughly enjoying both "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain and "The Twenty-Seventh City" by Jonathan Franzen.

Kitchen Confidential is really good. Pity his other books were so rushed. None seem to come close to the first one
Thats a pity as I do feel the urge to read more of his stuff.
