Whoa there Mr. P,
I just read that "Notion" thing and I thought it was pretty slow through-and-through. Definately picked up towards the end (WILL HE GET HIS REVENGE?!?!?), but I still didn't get that much out of it. I thought the sudden and unannounced switches between scenes/setting/dialogoue/characters were minorly interesting as an unusual literary device, but majorly annoying. "What the hell is going on? Who is talking"
Anyway, I'd be interested to hear what you got out of it.
I liked "Cuckoo's Nest " better.
I listened to "Touching The Void" as a book on tape during a road trip down to California last summer. It entertained me for the drive, but I think it would have been better to read it.
