Without picking at the theological details on the Haze's actions at the end of the story, I thought it was grotesque, made me laugh a few times and had a pretty tragic climax. Some moments made me horrified because I imagined if his church actually became a thing what it might look like. Haze's obsession with blasphemy was breathtaking honestly. The plot is thick with symbolism between the three women that Haze is involved with, the three other "preachers", blindness, "did you escape from the zoo," Enoch being a desperate shithead, flashbacks of Haze's religious childhood, and especially the symbolism of Haze's car and his pride in it.
If you've read the New Testament it will especially all make sense, but it is far more ugly of a story compared to her short stories which I've read most of already. The movie from 1979 (watched it right after) is actually a pretty good adaptation but it rearranges some scenes and removes the Enoch character building.

Last Book: The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima
Currently reading: The Woman in The Dunes by Kōbō Abe
Next read: Stoner by John Williams

I wanted to start with Japanese literature. Mishima seems like an interesting starting point so I bought one of his most well-known short stories. I loved it. It certainly will not be the last Mishima book that I'll read.
While I was looking around the bookstore, one of the employees noticed that I was holding one of Mishima's book and urged me to read Kobo Abe's The Woman in the Dunes. It invokes strange and claustrophobic imagery. Enjoying it so far.
Stoner is my next read. It piqued my interestes while I was looking at lit charts. I hope it turns out to be good.

The Incredible Life of Hubert Wilkins by Peter Fitzsimmons.
Wilkins biography was a great read. Fellow traveled to the arctic/antarctic, flew planes, commanded a submarine, traveled on an airship, fought a polar bear, saw two wars, and somehow survived it all.
Moby Dick by Herman Melville. This book is a gay anthem with Ishmael and Queequeg. Very boring slog. Though it is the last book in my big pile of books to read that hasn't been cleared in ~5 years.
Very excited to finally clear my "To read" pile and start on the books in pic related.

>>19823862
I seek Fitzsimmons' books everywhere and have been wondering if they are any good. Have you read much else by him?

>>19821888
>The Black Company, Cook
>The Duel, Casanova
>The Apology of Socrates, Plato

>>19821888
The Iliad
The Odyssey
The Hero With a Thousand Faces

>>19823874
Nope, Wilkins bio was the first. He has an interesting writing style that makes me think he suffered one too many concussions while playing rugby. Often jumps around to seemingly unrelated Aussie mythos. All in all he has a simple, easy to read, and entertaining style that I would highly recommend to any proud Australian.
