29. Love's Labor's Lost
30. The Great Gatsby

Fitzgerald is a magician. And here's another invisible house, albeit of the visible variety, and another instance of land flowing like water. And the glaring precursor of Citizen Kane, Catcher in the Rye, and some things in Crowley.

My high school theory that Gatsby arranged for Nick to come out, had set up his job and home for him, does fit the facts but seems superfluous. Ockham lops another.

Speaking of notable houses in literature, I just (finally!) got around to reading Neuromancer. (It's always been stolen from the libraries where I've tried to find it. Punks.)

Anyway, the Tessier-Ashpool abode, as inhabited by 3Jane, made me think of you.

Not superfluous if you read it as a book about Nick and not a book about Gatsby (i.e. how I read it).
