I haven't had the energy to post any more Red Basin latley, and as a faithful reader, you've no doubt noticed this already. I've been reading instead. Real books, instead of making up a not nearly real story. Currently Oryx and Crake is the main feature, and Gravity's Rainbow is in the bull pen. I read a couple chapters, and man is it slow going. Super good, but you have to think really hard about everything as you read it, so it really reduces your pages-per-minute. Hopefully it's worth the time! From what I've read on the internet, it's not just me that takes their time reading it, and a lot of people can't make it through, but for whatever reason, I think I'll be able to get it done. After Oryx and Crake though.
