What are you reading right now, /lit/?

Pic related. This is my second read-through of the book- I take it to my College's dining hall at lunch and dinner and read while I eat. Feels good man.

I choose to see it as a parody of sentimental novels.
I'm up to the part where he converts a whole prison-full of criminals to the one true church. (The parody reading isn't that much of a stretch.)

I honestly haven't enjoyed it thus far.

I'm nearly finished and it's becoming more of a chore than anything to actually complete it. It'll be interesting to see how Pinkerton obtains revenge for Timothy's death, but other than that; I couldn't give a fuck.

well, if you've read it, you may know what I am talking about. a big part of one of the stories involves talking a lot about the nature of the 4th dimension, which is explained in theoretical math. I don't understand the finer points of it, and there must be a hundred pages devoted to discussing it. I like the science in it.
