"God's Debris", laundry
Just read the first 50 pages of "God's Debris"-seems so far a sort of philosophical exchange between characters, on human perceptions of God. Guess it's a Scott Adams story (Dilbert cartoonist, not funny to me). Kind of interesting-raises a lot of points you'd expect to hear from a late-night philosophical discussion between a few young students; some logic, some cliched thinking, some new/current theory, and a lot of enthusiasm. I thought 'the old man's' speech kind of commonplace, sharing in 'feel' too much with the narrator/delivery guy's manner of speaking. I thought, at least to give more effect to the profundity of the old man's ideas, a bit more attention to his manner of speaking would help. It's no Tolstoyan, 50pg discourse-even if it's not meant to be. I might read the rest later, if I remember to print it out for the train-ride home-but I doubt it.
