Tried to keep away from the litpile, but couldn’t be left with just S/Z, Hypertext 3.0, and Ethics on the table. So Vladmir Nabokov’s Lolita is next up.
I am trying to get through the others but I’m beginning to wonder if I’m just not smart enough to understand, for example, S/Z. All this takes so much concentration and at the same time, I’m beginning to suspect that I’m not getting full value of the literature readings without benefit of philosophy and theory so I keep plodding along. Obviously, the novels are easier reading–but then, they needn’t be if I can expand them into multiple levels of understanding.
So tempted though with such limited time, to just read rather than read.
