I didn't really grasp the significance of the last paragraph in "Journey", does anyone have any thoughts on this? (I don't want to post the text to avoid spoiling it for anyone)
I recently bought the "Bandini quartet" (all four Bandini novels in one volume) on play.com and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I noticed that in "Wait Until Spring, Bandini" Arturo has two brothers, but in "The Road to Los Angeles" (which comes next chronologically) there is no mention of them...
funny i read that recently and didn't think it was unbearably bad, i was mostly indifferent towards it but there were a few good bits (like birkin's tirade's against society and love and the description of gerald crich's dying father). it could be rather dry though and if you felt that way...
the last cd I bought was "memories of love" by the future bible heroes. it's a project of stephin merritt of the magnetic fields, very good stuff. currently reading "catch-22"
