[Krythor]

I have officially started Bonfire of the Vanities and Ulysses, and have my sights set on The Awakening and Other Stories by Kate Chopin next.

I'm surprised that I'm enjoying Ulysses more than Bonfire of the Vanities; the latter has all the ingredients I look for in a novel, but Tom Wolfe's style is starting to grate on me. Maybe the internet has ruined ellipses for me, but he uses them far too much. I feel like I'm reading some horrifying 13 year old's blog when I see sentences like "he turned the corner... there are a lot of black faces here he thinks... the Bronx sure is scary..."

IT IS A GRAMMATICAL NIGHTMARE.
