Books 4+5+6

I finished Nausea, and then I reread Nausea during a long bath, and then I thought about doing it again. Jean Paul Sartre has a way of capturing the existentialist moments of Doestyevsky and inflating them to new heights. I would say in terms of style there is more than just an echo of Notes From Underground in it, which is fine by me given that I loved Notes.

On Monday I tackled Umberto Eco's The Name of The Rose


It was sort of a thriller/murder mystery set in the 1300's in a monestary. It ruled! I had originally tried to read it at some point in November and failed, because the Pilfers played their music too loudly for me to concentrate.
The main characters, a Friar and his apprentice are always engaged in deductive reasoning, and it makes the whole thing seem like Encyclopedia Brown for adults, but I found it engaging. It wasn't Nausea, but for a 400 page book it read swiftly.

Next up is some more Sandman! I am almost done with all of them! AHHHH (real monsters)
