Yeah but I'm somehow too lonely to continue reading it. I don't really have a social outlet besides this board and it's especially tough during the winter season.

The sentence you provided is not grammatically correct and also includes inappropriate language. The main grammatical error in this sentence is the use of the preposition "on" instead of "in." The correct preposition for this context should be "in," as it indicates entering or being inside something, which is the intended meaning here. "On" is typically used to indicate being atop or upon something, which does not fit this context.

No. I'm reading Wyndham Lewis's Self-Condemned and, compared with Tarr, which he wrote like 40 years earlier, it is very boring and insipid. I wonder with it's just because he's older, it seems he's lost his edge. The main character's a history professor, Rene, who holds what's supposed to be a scandalous anti-establishment take on history, but which amounts to saying: 'History has been dominated by tyrants and bullies, and all the smart and creative types like me [and Wyndham Lewis] should instead be appointed our philosopher-kings.' And there are about four separate scenes where he repeats this same trite thesis to a rapt, appreciative, admiring listener, implausibly in awe of his originality. All the satirical caricatures Rene meets are weak and paper-thin constructions, and there's no character who isn't a satirical caricature, even his wife, who's a sort of scheming sex-demon whose main desire is for him to buy her a new fur coat. The central premise of the book - him and his wife leaving England, in self-imposed exile, during WWII, and having to live in a single room in an undignified shabby hotel in a bleak Canadian city - is intriguing, and it's why I picked up the book. But I wish it was written by the same energetic Wyndham Lewis who wrote Tarr, not this whiny middle-aged rambler.

Yury Olesha's "Envy" was a really good one that I read earlier in the fall

I really liked Butchers Crossing, slammed through the book in like four days. Excellent all around, it really satisfied a particular itch for me with the time period and the wonderlust for nature, also I really live the mountains in Colorado.

Yeah, just finished Game of Thrones and am moving on to Clash of Kings. I tried to kickstart some threads on here, but I feel like no one wants to talk about the books.

Grammar has nothing to do with context.

What you're talking about is semantics

I liked game of thrones. But there were too many characters I didn't care about and too many loose threads to tie together for a good (or any) ending

I am currently reading game of thrones and liking it. Though the fact that I already know the story is killing my motivation to finish it.

Alexander Theroux - A Fan's Notes, by Steven Moore. I have not read anything by Alexander Theroux but I am now interested in this curmudgeon who only writes a new novel when a woman breaks up with him lol
