Taipei- Lin

It was pretty good. It felt like a reading the emotional history of a relationship from its beginning to the end in such a very entertaining style. Lin's ability to write about ordinary human emotions in such grand overreaching metaphors and similes

The Book of Disquiet --Pessoa

It is pretty evident that Lin was influenced by Pessoa's really interesting metaphorical language to speak about moments of melancholy. This books is beautiful and packed with very pretty language to describe depression.

The Recognitions - Gaddis

I haven't read another page in a week since I was trying to Taipei, but this book is masterful in its figurative language. The puns are high powered and I can definitely see why many Pynchon fans pick up Gaddis. Haha I just noticed that all of these books are depressing

>Going to read

I am not sure at all. It would be cool to start some more Faulkner may be. Just finished reading As I Lay Dying two weeks ago so The Sound and the Fury?
