BLUE JOB
I started but did not finish. Or even get past the first quarter.
No. It is not the auto value blue book. It is a novel about, what?
A skinny guy who grows up in the country, then is seen on an ocean cruise with a woman who he doesn't want to marry. Then it shifts POV to the woman who doesn't want to be with him either and is actually on the ship to meet a mentalist who doesn't want to be seen with her.
In between there is a lot of stream of conscious balderdash for each of them none of which makes sense.
No character so far is attractive.
In a new chapter there are going to be other people. The book seems to be a series of short stories that are intertwined.
How? I don't much care.
I tried stream reading the stream of consciousness but that leads to somnolent result.
Sleepy times.
I quite while I was behind with no idea of where I was, where I had been and where it all was going.
New lit, abstractions.
Too bad.
Off to the Palm Springs library for a new home.
