The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Fwiw I found Play to be pretty dull and forgettable, but ymmv. Much prefer the essays, especially Slouching.

I'd just like to put a word in for a combo of The Year of Magical Thinking -> Blue Nights, a rather devastating one-two punch of books about grief and loss and love
An enigma of a man shaped hole in the wall between reality and the soul of the devil.

Read this one a few years ago but didn't know enough at the time to fully appreciate. The introduction is worth the price alone, basically spelling out Stirner's thought better than Stirner himself did in 300 pages. Rereading it has been invaluable. My copy is more highlighter than paper at this point.

I ordered 2666 from another branch of the library. Not sure how long it will take to arrive. Not sure i'm ready to start the new year with something so long either, but we'll see.
