The Big Book Project: 06.09

If reading all of these long books has had any effect on me, it's given me a better appreciation for short stories. I've enjoyed a few smaller collections this year including Wells Tower's debut Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned. Which fits somewhere between Elmore Leonard and Raymond Carver on the dude-tastic short story scale (a highly scientific scale graded in terms of alcohol content, Tower is about 70 proof). In the context of this project it's amazing what Tower can squeeze into 15-20 pages.

The dude was long on the short of it. There he is, churning out 6 pages worth of consummate New Yorker short story. The problem is, I don't always like New Yorker short stories. So getting through all of Updike's Early Stories: 1953-1975. Even just a few stories at a time, over more than a month - was tough at times. Earlier this year I had my first encounter with Updike in the form of his Rabbit novels. Here were my thoughts. Friends from Philadephia - A nice lil story I enjoyed because of the Raymond C...

Gravity's Brainblow and Update. I'm forty-some pages into Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. And I'm ready to declare it one of the hardest books I've ever read. The sentences are very complex and often require multiple passes to get any idea of what the hell's going. I'm enjoying the "absurdity of war" tone that reminds me of one of my favorite books, Catch 22. Luckily, some nerds have created an entire wiki site for the book. The one piece of worthwhile Gravity's Rainbow. By John Barth (819p). The Com...

The Big Book Project: Mason & Dixon & Update
http://librosgrandes.blogspot.com/2009/08/mason-dixon-update.html
Mason and Dixon and Update. Most recently read and most impossible to summarize, Pynchon's Mason and Dixon. Structurally it's similar to Barth's Sot-Weed Factor. An Englishman, just returned from a trip to Italy is eager to introduce his pubmates to a fantastic new dish he discovered there (pizza). Unable to find dough, tomato and cheese, they made do with stilton cheese, anchovies, and "ketjup," on a loaf of brown bread. Que delicioso! Pynchon continues his infatuation with silly names for the non-histo...
