Readathon: Final Stretch
As of 5:20 AM Eastern Standard Time, I have read 6 books:
2666 Roberto Bolano
The Cage Kenzo Kitakata
Confessions Kang Zhengguo
Parasite Rex Carl Zimmer
The Tale of Peter Rabbit Beatrix Potter
The German Shepherd Dog Howell Book House
Although technically I only read the last 100~ pages of 2666, so that would be...uh... 5 and 1/4 books? Hahaha
After all this is done (I don't want to spend TOO MUCH time posting) I'm thinking of posting all of the lines and passages that I found particularly striking or memorable or bizarre. This assuming I can remember anything after what will probably be a very long nap ;)
Two teaser lines, to give you a taste of what I've been reading:
I could barely pronounce his English name, so I adopted the Xi'an custom of calling him Stinky Egg.
Finally, one day, the ant meets its awful end: the parasite dissolves the connection between the head and the rest of the body.
Almost there!
