I just did a reread of A Song of Ice and Fire so I'm used to dreams having more overt significance... So, I'm not finished. I'm reading via pdf so I can't tell how close to finished I am. Middling. But I'm simultaneously reading for various commitments Catch-22, a 1400-page omnibus of Orwell's essays and correspondence, three books on modernization in Africa and one on the history of Ancient China, a Vonnegut novel and an excellent book on Lincoln. Also a Dresden Files novel, because I opened the wrong pdf earlier and it seemed interesting. So. It's killing me. But I am gonna finish this goddamn book. I like it in the same way that I like all purposefully post modern literature; I accept the 3-page long sentences with good grace, I nod knowingly at the threeway dream sequences and I treat it like an oral tradition where one single section matters much less than the parts of the whole. Worked so far. I'll go back to reading now. EDIT: aha!
