I heard Murakami has some good stuff and I know my wife has some on the bookshelf. But I'm more commenting on the particular milieu, if you will, of a particular pretentious type of literature that I could never really get into. Perhaps if I went to class naked when I was in college I'd understand better.
- kragen 3y agoi've definitely been to hacker hot tub parties on several occasions, so i'd probably enjoy the naked classroom too i think what these authors have in common is not so much pretension as giving free rein to their very active imagination: caring as much about what could be as about what is. in the case of gladwell and lehrer, they've let it blur the lines between fiction and reporting (to everyone's detriment), but i don't think that's really the case with hofstadter, pirsig, and murakami
