the unbearable lightness of being by milan kundera.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Saturday, 25 March 2006 04:07 (twenty years ago)

Dude, that book is not an upper.

― Laura H. (laurah), Saturday, 25 March 2006 08:28 (twenty years ago)

surprisingly gd bk abt one 'the Beckett of Hammersmith'- a bk that acknowledges the compromise - lies - of literary biog but still knuckles down to telling the story of johnson's life, which ended w/ his suicide in 1973 at the age of 40 - written w/ wit and intelligence and great sympathy

also read hammer of the gds by stephen davis, notorious bk abt led zeppelin - terrible but compulsively readable

im tempted by this: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0801870879.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

what im really looking for is a decent book about hawaiian music of the 20s or 30s, but, in the meantime, any recommendations of prewar pop music would be great

i have read some gogol, gareth. i almost bought dead souls yesterday, actually, but it seemed so long and brutal. i like his short stories, though.

i read 'dead as doornails' by anthony cronin a little while ago. it was pretty fantastic.

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 25 March 2006 17:54 (twenty years ago)

dead souls isnt really a heavy book, i dunno, its a while since i read it though

― charltonlido (gareth), Saturday, 25 March 2006 19:51 (twenty years ago)

it just seemed long and daunting.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Saturday, 25 March 2006 21:55 (twenty years ago)

There's graffiti by a scenic waterfall near Superior, WI that says "read Gogol."

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Monday, 27 March 2006 06:31 (twenty years ago)

i had to quit on dead souls...i read some stories of his that were quite good, though...

ahhhh! i never got to finish vertigo. almost bought his book about not talking about the war in germany yesterday--on the natural history of destruction i think...has anyone read that?

― bb (bbrz), Monday, 27 March 2006 15:16 (twenty years ago)

starting "fire love" by turgenev today. will probably finish it today, also, since it is short.

& just finished evan eisenberg's the recording angel, which is fantastic, especially once he reaches the middle chapter 'phonography', ditches the anthropology and just sails away into abstract truest space

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 01:04 (twenty years ago)

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 01:18 (twenty years ago)

I started a really boring novel about junkies last night (Luke Davies, 'Candy'), but I think I'm going to toss it aside in favor of the new Pevear translations of The Double and the Gambler.

I'm on a Russian kick for the summer, do any noizers have a favorite translation of The Death of Ivan Ilyich?
