Way back in December (it feels like forever ago) I blogged about reading two books at once. I promised to report on how it went.
Well, here it is. Kind of.
I was reading Embassytown, a novel by the wonderful China Meivelle, and 1922, a novella by the legendary Stephen King. I found that while I read 1922, and took a break from Embassytown. 1922, being a measly 120 or so pages, didn’t take very long to read, so the break from ‘Town wasn’t very long at all, hardly noticible. Still, I didn’t actually flip between the two.
1922 was terrifying, by the way. Emabssytown was incredibly dense, but very thought-provoking and satisfying .
So, the experiment continues! The Art Of Fielding, by Chad Harbach, and Sleepless, by Charlie Huston. So far the biggest issue is deciding which one to put in my bag – The Art Of Fielding is too big for me to fit both…

I’ve heard really good things about Embassytown… maybe it’s time to pick it up, eh?
Loved Embassytown so much! Currently reading The Naked and the Dead (Mailer), Dhalgren (Delaney), and The World as I Found it (Duffy). I find reading multiple novels helps me pace my reading and not fly through them, remembering nothing. I don’t like feeling that reading is a race. Also, some of them are heavy sledding.
You get observed quite interesting points! ps decent website.
Thank you for some other magnificent post. Where else may just anybody get that type of information in such an ideal approach of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the look for such info.
