  12. After I read The Overstory and Bewilderment I decided to read everything by #RichardPowers. I’m trying to spread them out amongst other stuff as treats. I’m on The Time of Our Singing now. I’ve a long way to go but I’m always amazed at how much knowledge/research goes into these books. How does this guy know so much about so many subjects?? Does he have a team to help? I’m distracted by my awe for him.

  16. I hate to say it, but I'm about to give up on #RichardPowers "Gold bug variations". I absolutely loved #Overstory and #Bewildered, and mostly adored #Playground.

    But this one is dense. Lots of complex sentences and non-stop clever metaphors. I find myself re-reading pages several times to understand them. The story and characters feel secondary to the allusions and florid description.

    10% in, and that may be my limit :/

    before the moon,
    before the stars,

    before the sun,

    before the sky,
    even before the sea,

    there was only time and Ta'aroa.

    Ta'aroa made Ta'aroa. Then he made an egg that could house him."
