At Swim Two Birds (Book thread)

skellywager [Edit] [Delete] 12:54, 19 January '12

Such an amazing book.

"When a man sleeps, he is steeped and lost in a limp toneless happiness; awake he is restless, tortured by his body and the illusion of experience. Why have men spent the centuries seeking to overcome the awakened body. Put it to sleep, that is a better way. Let it serve only to turn the sleeping soul over, to change the blood-stream and thus make possible deeper and more refined sleep"

I am just half way through it but it's such a great read.

I was close to finishing A Brave New World, but this has taken over.

What have you been reading? Those of you who got a kindle over Christmas how do you feel about reading on it now?
