I'm going to re-read Bolano's Last Evenings on Earth before diving back in and finishing Dune.
The Spanish version of Last Evenings on Earth is called Llamadas Telefónicas which means Telephone Calls and has a cool original cover - all the Anagrama versions have very cool covers - except for 2666 which the Gustave Moreau painting can't be beat

how is this? looks up my alley.
It's pretty good? I've still not made up my mind and my pleasure-reading time has dwindled recently, so I'm making slow progress.
The writing is not super interesting, though it's not bad either. However I am enjoying reading it and I don't know too much about Turkish history and culture, so reading this book has been very interesting. Half of the time I spend with it is spent googling various references and historical events.

can anyone recommend sort-of-psychedelic vibe novels like Crying of Lot 49, PKD, etc.. not about drugs, but kind disorienting and weird (for lack of better term)?

Oh interesting. Children of Time wasn't my favorite but it wasn't terrible either. I'm curious how this pans out. The author's biology background is a huge draw for me.
im still slowly reading the magic mountain, about 25% complete, and i love the barely perceptible yet growing sense of dread and discomfort underlying the whole thing. really unique and special quality. i have no idea where this is going but i'm v intrigued...

cj, do! I think you'd dig. great mix of sex/passion, capitalism/post-war mentality, social class blah blah -- don't want to say too much but it's gorgeous. going to read more lawrence now.

i read all of this today, and holy shit it was good. beautifully written, but it has this kind of cold/cruel aspect to it that i can only compare to a michael haneke movie. the last forty or so pages were incredibly eerie and powerful.
I've had Children of Time on my bookshelf for aaaaages, I'm not sure why I haven't gotten around to reading it. Everybody says it's great!
I'm reading:
Which I've also had for a while, but I had that poem "I remember Aldestrop" randomly in my head for a while and then I saw this on the shelf and then it clicked that Aldestrop is by this guy and it's Spring so it's the perfect time to read it. It's very good but poetical writing so it's sort of slow going but very nice. He rides a bike from London to around Bristol in 1913
