Occasional Visitor

Finished Ulysses, it took some time... 732 pages while long isn't exceptional, I've read longer novels not one like this though, this is a marathon it's just so dense. It's also deliberately confusing. For me it started off as a regular story then slowly it changed into something in between...

I haven't read any others yet and sorry for my late reply, infrequent visitor.

That's how it starts man, you read a book because you want to instead of have to then before you know it you're in the woods hunting pig.

Very kind of you, can't think of anything PMable at the moment. I live in Glasgow.

Not a problem, all new posts gratefully received.

I read it in a couple of hours (I'm very slow) and it was a very good couple of hours in the company of this cheerful pessimist. He doesn't hold back, essentially we're all going down the toilet very fast and if you don't agree this book still has some hard truths for you.

Is Mark Hamill putting on that facial expression for a laugh? I hope so...

Her, a love story between a man and his computer OS. Quite a thought provoking movie especially as AI is the current hot topic in science at the moment. If a genuinely sentient artificial intelligence is created will it wish to hang around its progenitors or will it be desperate to get out of...

Finished gaming for a bit which is good because that was quite a big game. Back to reading.

I answered this thread in the hope I could get a response for you but it looks like the game's moved on.
