The narrative style develops with the character. Think of the book as a pendulum swinging back and forth. Stephen reaches an epiphany, then moves in the other direction. Also it's pretty autobiographical.

I've been reading the novelizations of the Star Trek Series by James Blish.
I'm currently on the Second volume of 12, and find his novelizations of scripts he had never seen the productions of really entertaining. The giant bookstore in my area (Smith Family Bookstore, they have 2 buildings, both 2 stories, and MASSIVE) and picked up each novel for a dollar each.

I've been reading it took, but actually I'm LOVING the way it's written. I find it amazingly easy to read, somehow. Before, I'd given Ulysses a try... talk about cumbersome to read. I'm trying it again next, though. I'm also about to finish Ada or Ardor. (or is it "Ada, or Ardor"? My book has it with no comma, but online I see both)

Maybe he had an agenda? Real-life Richard wasn't nearly as bad as Shakespeare portrayed him.

Erewhon by Samuel Butler. A sort of very toned-down Swiftian satire set in Wen Dnalaez. Blitzed through a handful of old Forgotten Realms novels last week. Dunno how half of them got published.

Animal Farm by Orwell. I liked 1984 and I've heard this one is good too, so I bought it. Still at the beginning though.

Finishing Les Miserables. I had to buy it abridged; I just couldn't finish it unabridged. Hugo's editor = officially the worst editor in French History.

It was OK, finished it yesterday. Almost every chapter raises new questions but in the final chapter everything becomes clear, which was clearly what he was going for. If you're a big Laurie fan like me you'll buy it anyway.

Finally got a hold of the second book in the dark tower series by stephen king which had mystically eluded me for a few years. Trying to stave the urge to become a hermit over the holiday.

Just finished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge (shit was SO cash); haven't decided what comes next, but probably something scifi.
