What to read? March 25, 2020 6:12 pm podrock

Just finished Huckleberry Finn. Unimpressed. Great to get a view of life then on the River, but hard to read. Never could get into the dialog and the prose. Don’t know why. Just didn’t click in my brain. And I am fond of challenging prose and dialect. Ever read Riddley Walker? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddley_Walker)

Sitting on the to read shelf is Kim Stanley Robinson’s New York 2140. I like his work even if it gets tedious at times.

Or there’s comfort reading. I could do LOTR for the Nth time. The tuna casserole of leisure reading.

So, what about y’all?
