The first 400 pages were fairly good, then it kinda lost it. Because of the complexity of it, plus waiting a while to keep going, I have almost no idea what is going on.

Stop watching TV while reading, it just distracts you and gives you weird-ass opinions about books.

he watches tv while reading? that would explain a lot.

I don't. The funny thing is, I haven't watched tv in months.

I usually either read in bed (morning), or in the garden (afternoon). There's nothing to distract me.

I've been trying to get through Elf Queen of Shanara for a good 3 years now.

Then watch more TV or something so you understand how narrative works. I don't know what it is you're doing, but try and fix it.

Have you considered taking notes, Sunhawk?

It's hard to ignore advice from Joyce!

It's so funny now looking over that again - of course I chose Joyce to talk about note-taking for books.

Did you know that between the first and second edits of Ulysses before its publication he wrote another third-ish of the book in the margins?

To use the parlance of the web, Joyce has always been confirmed for troll tier.

He's not hard to understand.

Pynchon is a very talented and interesting writer and a very bad novelist.
