Nice one congrats. Remember you wrestling with it last time I was in here which was ages ago. I finished White Noise in the meantime. The darkness is well disguised from the point of view of this cosy family dad and his family (seems like it's taken from the authors own family life) amazing little observations here and there. And then the gun comes into the picture....
Now halfway through
Detailed yet concise chronicle beginning at around the mid 1600s. Well researched, very heavy on name and date dropping throughout. Think I'm gonna need to balance this out with some fiction reading.
White Noise is still one of my favorites, despite Underworld being on a whole other plane of literary brilliance. Underworld wasn't a particularly tough read aside from the time commitment: despite being rather episodic and broken into digestible character-focused segments it works much better as a continuous read-through. And it goes fast when you commit to it. I read the first half in short order and then tried to catch up with it here and there for a few months, reading a couple pages before falling asleep, and that just wasn't cutting it.
