I'm 21, reading pic related right now. It's very gay and romantic. I'm a fan of the mad doctor. Just got through his monologue about the misery he faces in a life full of sex without love, shit was beautiful. Barnes is an absolute powerhouse of prose. It's gorgeous.

I just finished the Crying of Lot 49, might read Bleeding Edge next. I had fun reading him, but I'm not sure I could stand more than the 200 or so pages of Lot 49 of Pynchon's prose. As good as it was, I found it getting tedious in quite a few places.

Do people actually like book jackets? I hate the things. Always take em off.

What am I in for?
Just found it for 0.50€ at a shop while walking.
I know I already saw people talking about it and said it was good but I don't really know much more.
