It's quite a formidable read. Thinking about scanning it sometime soon.

Halfway through The Trial, I like it so far, but I haven't read in two weeks because I fell to boo-hoo and was too unmotivated to read. I'm feeling somewhat better now and I think I'll come back to it tomorrow. Also bought a book with collected works of Aristotle I should start reading.

Read this last month and really enjoyed it. I hope more people start picking it up because it's cheap & Orlovitz deserves to be noticed even in a niche space as this.

The Night Land

So far so good, but I'm only into the third chapter. I never really come to /lit/ but after lurking some Lovecraft thread on /tv/, I decided to poke around here and saw some recommendations in a Lovecraft thread here. Also bought a collection of Algernon Blackwood stories, just haven't started reading it yet.

As I said, I will scan and provide it for this community sometime soon. Orlovitzis very underappreciated and I would love to have some more people acquainted with him more.

Parzival by Wolfram Von Eschenbach.

It's really pretty delightful. There's so much color and pomp and chivalry in the story. It's also told in kind of a catty, snide manner, talking about how expensive all the things the knights wear are.

Foucault's Pendulum

Nothing like an authors death to get you to pick up the book of theirs you bought ten years ago and read it, eh? 300 pages in it only just feels like the main plot is beginning to kick in. That said, I can't say I've disliked what I've read so far.
