    I’m very close to finishing The Sound and the Fury. It has lived up to it’s reputation of being opaque and difficult. Really more of a checklist book for me.

    I am about midway through Neurotribes. It’s interesting, but has been slow going.

    I’m finally picking up steam on my second read of Infinite Jest. Even better than the first time around.

    I am about midway through Anathem. Neal Stephenson is a gifted writer, but for some reason I really lost traction on this one after I got through the world building and into the actual narrative.

    I am also nearly done with my second read of American Gods. I have it on audiobook this time. Really enjoying the ensemble cast. It’s a good story and I enjoy Gaiman’s narrative style.

    Idk why but ever since my youth I’ve never been able to focus on just one book at a time.

      This sounds stressful to me. I am the complete opposite, I need to finish a book (or series) completely before I can move on to something else.
