Picture This by Joseph Heller

Snapshots of history all revolving around this painting. So far it's as wry, whimsical, ironic, and contradictory as you could expect from Heller.

I love Chuck Palahniuk. Haven't read Diary yet though. Haunted is my favorite book by him.

Just read Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Hemingway. Good stories, I'm also in the middle of Cry The Beloved Mind by Vernon Neppe.

The second of her essay collections I'm going through. She's got a few more. Looking forward to the section with essays about movies. I skipped the first essay, "The Aesthetic of Silence" because it was largely tedious and over my head (which is probably where the tediousness came from). It's about modern art as an ideology that seeks first to ultimately reach the goal of silence. To not communicate anything. I read about a third, didn't get it, and moved on.

The one I'm reading about now is about the literary view of pornography and it's interesting.

Not giving up on this one since it's so short anyway, but I'm kinda bored by it tbh
