Just began Paul Auster's 4321 at the end of last month. It's easy to get into, what with the prose flowing so well, and I'm glad I feel I am in, because it is a long book. I remember Auster mentioning somewhere that he wrote the book in a short, concentrated burst--that once he got to writing this one, the writing just happened. If I'm not wrong, i think he said he wrote it in a year, more or less. Which is quite phenomenal.

Other than that, I'm just doing some very simple and basic readings on formal logic. Currently reading about transductive reasoning, which is a new term for me. After 4321, I'm looking forward to re-reading Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh.
