For the first time I’m reluctant to select from the pile. There is no doubt that even as I’m catching up on the lit journals, I’m torn between the many other anthologies I have stacked up and the novels that call with their lure of involvement. Metamagical Themas is a bit much for me in my current frame of mind although I haven’t put it back within the lineup. I’m up for McCarthy, but then it would be nice to read another Faulkner in the aftermath of Sound and Fury.
My secondary purpose in reading has been to learn the skill of writing, and I’m pretty sure I won’t be writing another novel any time soon, but I’m getting turned off on writing short stories now as well.
It may be time to go in the direction of new media and learn Macromedia Flash.
