Re: what book is the main character reading?
Not entirely sure. There are a number of books I know of that could be it, and probably more that I'm not familiar with, but the immediate thought is that it might be "Finnegans Wake" by James Joyce. Not sure about the 'couple weeks' bit, but it's basically about going from bar to bar to celebrate a wake... I think? I dunno. That's certainly ONE interpretation of that mess of near gibberish. Also, the scene IS on Rin's path, remember, so you'd almost need a Hisao that can parse the kind of thought processes that went into that novel to get where Rin's coming from.
Okay, so I haven't read "Finnegans Wake" myself (barely even got through a few pages of "Ulysses" and that's far more sane as far as prose goes), but I've heard of a holiday in Ireland where people bar-hop along the same path as the characters in the novel do, and I've heard that interpretation, so along with the whole "Rin's thought process" thing, it seems to fit?
Just a guess.

I think it would technically be possible to find out what book it is, if you follow the correct leads and do the correct logical jumps, but I reckon it'd be pretty hard.
<Aura> would you squeeze a warm PVC bottle between your thighs and call it "manaka-chan"
<Suriko> I would do it if it wouldn't be so hard to explain to my parents

I can recall you saying the name of the novel yourself, however now that I'm looking for it I can't find it.Aura wrote:I think it would technically be possible to find out what book it is, if you follow the correct leads and do the correct logical jumps, but I reckon it'd be pretty hard.
Mysterious.
Re: what book is the main character reading?
why anyone would be coy about this is beyond me. I'm just asking a simple question.
