I dunno... seemed pretty eco-anarchist-y to me. How are you liking it?
I agree... the diet and weightlifting plan alone are worth the price of admission.
Love DFW. Have you read Infinite Jest?
I just finished "Women" and "Post Office" by Buk. Factotum is in the stack.

Well, it supposedly is, but, given that one of our protagonists is described by his comrades as a sociopath, I don't know how much Abbey intended them to be representative of his views...
It's well written, IMO, but half of it is people running away from the police. In a desert. Not exactly engaging, IMHO. But that's just me.At times, I admit it was a bit of a chore to go through, but I'm not exactly the greatest bookworm ever, so it might just be me being a halfwit.
