Waiting

I finished reading A Frolic of His Own by William Gaddis yesterday. It was very good, I mean it's Gaddis, but yeah. It reminded me a whole lot of J R...not QUITE as completely dialog, but mostly yeah. There's also other artifacts within and bits of descriptive, "narrative" writing, those come up much more frequently than in J R but still that style of dialog dominates. And then there's sort of the bridge with The Recognitions because those times it does break into third person narration, it has a similar style to that. Anyway, it was really good. I was sad yesterday 'cuz I had a package that I was waiting for and it said it was out for delivery, but then it never showed up. Now there's an alert on the tracking page since it hasn't been scanned since... Fun! But I was being all sad and pathetic, keeping going out to check for a package even though there was nothing there and I really knew there wouldn't be, but just acting on compulsion.
