I didn't read Atomised this week and instead started Confessions of a Mask, which is basically Mishima's autobiography as a closeted teenager during the Shōwa Era Japan, plus weird sadomasochistic tendencies like getting an erection and masturbating to St. Sebastian's painting. I'll finish Houellebecq's “magnus opus” eventually.

I'm about halfway through The Sun Also Rises and I'm enjoying it well enough but absolutely nothing is happening. It's my first Hemingway so maybe this is just his thing, I dunno.
