Loretta is 62% done with Dracula

I have reached the "OMG you patronizing patriarchal sexist idiots who think you are being such heroes" portion of the story. Dumbasses.

Okay. It's done. I don't know what the hell I think about it, but it's done.

Still chugging. Still funny, and dark, and gruesome, and engaging.

Chugging along. Took a break due to travel and read The Great Gatsby; hope to have some time to focus on this over the weekend.

This book is so crazy. And so brilliant. Eschaton! And the very very long chapter on AA which seems quite brilliant and true to me, although I've never been there of course. This is the most...something...book I've ever read.

Yup. Totally hooked now. And unfortunately, very little time to read this week. Sigh.

Loretta is on page 215 of 1088 of Infinite Jest

The chapter about the things you learn in rehab is breathtakingly beautiful and heartbreaking and twisted and funny.

Loretta is on page 144 of 1088 of Infinite Jest

Four months in and on p. 144. Hmm. That doesn't count the endnotes, though. I took a bit of a hiatus, (about 3 months of a hiatus, because I was travelling and it is not a travel-friendly book, and then I just never got back into it) but am diving back in again now.

Loretta is reading Leaves of Grass (The "Death-Bed" Edition)

Abandoning this one for now. I had to return it to the library, plus several reviewers suggest reading the first edition rather than the "bloated" death-bed edition. So I think I'll do that.

Loretta is on page 26 of 547 of Blackdog (Gods of the Caravan Road, #1)

This was a Christmas gift- not something I would have picked up otherwise- but I must say, the first chapter has me hooked.

Loretta is reading Suicide Run (Harry Bosch, #14.5; Harry Bosch Universe, #23.4)

I'm actually listening to the audiobook during my commute, but can't find the audio book on Goodreads.

Suicide Run (Harry Bosch, #14.5; Harry Bosch Universe, #23.4)

Loretta is on page 1057 of 1329 of Les Misérables

Less than 200 pages. When Hugo is actually moving the story along, I'm rivetted. When he or one of the minor characters are lecturing; giving a history lesson; or indulging in endless descriptive prose, I am skimming, scanning, and flipping pages.

Loretta is on page 918 of 1329 of Les Misérables

I have to note that the novel actually ends on page 1194. The rest, up to 1376, are footnotes. Which is good. This is taking forever.
