I never truly read a book all the way from start to finish.

Just finished Gathering Blue, it was okay. I don't suggest it though, not as good as many other books.

75 pages into Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin, this book is very... different.

It's almost like Chuck Palahniuk's work but... a lot worse. Some parts are pretty cool because I can relate to his train of thought (which his train of thought is awful, he will move around different useless ideas). I plan on finishing it though.

It reminds me of The Science of Sleep. A very very awesome movie. Some parts are very dream like, added in for no obvious reason, at least so far.

Though this book is extremely strange and I don't even imagine how someone could hold it up so high. I can't describe it in many ways then just "bad". I plan on finishing it though. I'm still interested in it.

is it worth checking out though? at least for that dream-like feeling>
I really enjoyed the sleep-dreaminess of the science of sleep

I'm not sure yet. I'd have to say no so far.

At one point he is in a car, he dropped off a girl. Then he says a bear comes over to him and he follows the bear down a ladder through a hole and stuff. I like the book in a way that you don't have to understand it all it enjoy it. I enjoy the book but I'm still not sure.

The truth is, you can't understand this book, it doesn't let you.

I don't know much about the book, but I plan on reading it next. Try House of Leaves.

I flipped through a few pages and I kind of smiled with joy. I love the book because unlike every other book in existence, you could never ever predict what the next page will bring.

You'll understand it if you see a copy of it.

I think I'll have to look for that. You should try The City of Dreaming Books out some time.

Is it an actual book? His other work is cartoon work.

Also whats it about?

[reeper]

I just finished Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin. I can't say that it was even close to "good." It's very very very strange. At some parts of the book, you're thinking "oh god what is going on" and other parts you're thinking "oh what the fuck is going on."

The book doesn't really have a plot, just about a guy who over analyzes everything and is very depressed.

The best way to describe this book is that it's pretty much of what a dream is. A dream where not much makes sense, you shift from many ideas constantly. Not much makes sense (I have to say it again.) but sometimes the author starts to explain something that has very little to do with the plot.

The book has a lot of weird people and music just appear in the book. For no reason at all he talks about how a bear kills Elisha Wood. I read it in one sitting, 200 or so pages, I can't say that it's not interesting, because it is. Just not something that makes much sense.

I don't need to read shitty novels.

I'm way more intelligent than your ass by just browsing a few pages of Wikipedia.
