fredericksAfter roughly a nanosecond of contemplation last night around 2AM I decided to stay up the entire night reading. As a rule I tend to avoid all-nighters if possible, so I definitely wasn't used to trying to remain awake for extended periods of time. The night before I'd taken 2 Sominex to hasten sleep because my internal clock is apparently all out of wack; the last few nights I've been falling asleep around 4AM and waking up around 11AM. Surprisingly the Sominex didn't kick in until around 3AM (I took them at midnight) and, yup, I still woke up at 11.
So last night/early this morning I said "Fuck it" and decided to stay up re-reading Otherland. I never really realized how thick and daunting the series is until I decided I wanted to go through it all again. The first time I was driven to find out what was going on with all of my beloved characters and sort of sped through it all. Now I know what's going to happen and so I'm taking my time getting through it but, wow, thats alotta words! Williams had a shitload of subplots running through his work; it's admirable the way he weaves them all and ties everything up at the end. But I should leave my gushing rant of love for all things Otherland for another day. When I'm more coherent, perhaps.
