Since things get pushed down rather quickly here, and because some of you may need an extra push, I wanted to remind everyone that we’re doing a read-along of Roberto Bolaño’s magnum opus, 2666. You can find the details here in our announcement post. (Or click on the badge in the upper right.)
Lee and I will be covering Part I: The Part about the Critics on Friday, September 19. That’s less than two weeks away, so get cracking!


I’m flying through it! (famous last words…)
I flew through it, leroy, until Part Four…which I kind of quickly and swervingly negotiated whilst trying to look away, and even during Part Five looking over my shoulder to make sure it was definitely receding into the distance…great but singular, the penultimate bit…
I have finished part I & II, so ahead of schedule :-)
