In high school, we had to read Waiting for Godot. We had to write a paper explaining who we thought Godot was. One guy argued that Godot was a polar bear. He got an A

Speaking of Italian women, I just finished Focault's Pendulum and I want to talk about how Eco used his female characters to represent different kinds of truth or knowledge or whatever. It's explicitly mentioned that Lorenza represents occult knowledge, which is unattainable by non-initiates but seems to be possessed by a chosen elect which is how Casaubon perceives the relationship between Lorenza and Belbo. Lia is knowledge obtained through reason, as she figures out the truth behind the "poem" discovered by Colonel Ardenti and forces the reader and Casaubon to realize that the Plan is a farce even if the occultists believe in it. Amparo represents ideological knowledge when she refuses to believe in her cultural traditions and is angry/disgusted at herself for succumbing to that belief. Once we look at the book this way it's clear that Casaubon's relationships with these characters reflects his relationship with the knowledge they represent, he discarded his ideology when he came back from South America after Amparo left him, and he found that Italy had moved on politically. In the latter half of the book he is in a serious relationship with Lia but is tempted by Lorenza (even though I don't think its ever made clear whether Lorenza is trying to seduce him) which is representative of him being obsessed with the Plan while trying to pretend that its all just a joke. Once everything falls apart after the meeting in the Consortium, Casaubon is able to take solace that Lia and his child will be alright, whereas Lorenza was killed by the occultists who were supposed to have protected her. I hope you enjoyed all these loving words I wrote about this book I really like.

Yeah so gently caress Sophia. Sorry, but I find the writing style so unbelievably insufferable. It actually makes me a little mad. It's all these short little segments. Here's an example:quote:A fugitive walks through the football stadium filling with snow. A trillion stars flicker in the theoretical multiverse. Eli, I wonder if Jesus ever had a wet dream? I can only imagine the writer sat back and smiled the smuggest smile in the world after he wrote that for his MFA class. blue squares fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Jan 21, 2016 |

Yeah, let these sentences devoid of context that are being used specifically to make you think the novel is bad shape your opinion. I have about two hundred pages left in it. It's worth reading.

City on Fire is by far my book of the year. His metaphors run the gamut from profound to puzzling to hilarious, like a homeless man who reads the future in the tea-leaf patterns of used diapers. (That one is mine)

It seems kind of unfair to take things that are obviously from dialogue and hold them out as bad sentences.

blue squares posted:His message is perfectly clear. The meaning of a book is something that is created between each pair of reader & author. There is no one right thing. Each reader comes to the table with a different set of experiences and knowledge which will influence that reader's experience of the book. No two people will ever experience a book the same way, ever, so there can be no identical readings from a book between any two people, ever, so there is no one right answer, ever. Yes this is it. For example now that I'm vegan I do a vegan reading of everything I read/watch, like The Revenant.
