where was i again?

Posted on July 19, 2007 by Tito

In the last couple of years, I’ve started a few books that I was thoroughly enjoying but for various reasons1 I did not finish. Of these, there are 3 that I am going to try and finish. In sequence of the amount I was enjoying them when last put down:

  • The Recognitions
  • Underworld
  • Infinite Jest
  • I am pretty sure I’ll finish The Recognitions and Underworld. I’m still not sure about IJ. The next question for me to address is whether to start over or take off where I left off. After 5 seconds of thought, I’m going to go with take off where I left off.

    What the heck: Mountain Goats – This Year [MP3]


    1Previously …. I took a sick pride in “finishing what I started”2 Well that pendulum took the other extreme, and I was a habitual non-finisher. I’ll see if I can’t find a balance somewhere in the middle.

    2Interesting to see that the word “perseverance” has roots in Calvinistic doctrine.
