Journal entries to aspire to: constant creative work and late nights with David (Bowie).
Here for Bill's wanders and interactions with new people as he grieves. The “true” subject matter was less interesting. Wasn't as good as Insomniac City (an absolute favorite).
Work read. A few good chapters on the founding of Snowflake. The rest is, expectedly, a puff piece.
Somehow JL came off as more of a jealous jerk than when he tells the same stories orally.
Thought provoking. Lots of scattered and shallow examples across a wide breadth but solid nonetheless.
An enthralling story about deplorable people. Simultaneously entertaining and infuriating.
Didn't know what I was getting into. Each Part a major phase change with unexpected connections (as well as drifting offshoots) - some of which I'm tempted to revisit. Got stuck on the several hundred pages outlining one murder and crime scene after another, but even that section gathered momentum in an innovative way. Encouraged to read more, especially the genuine “completed” works.
Epic as always but exhausting. Not sure when I will pick up the next but feeling as though I have to. Still reeling from the incongruent but vital “old jumbo” line that really cuts to the core.
Fascinating view of why we play arbitrary, useless games. The second half of real world application examples got a bit repetitive.
