I really hadn’t expected this book to be nearly so funny as it turned out.
Okay, so it is black humour, but Camus was more or less French – so black humour is more or less obligatory. I particularly liked the man who kept falling behind in the march to the cemetery and would take short cuts. My opinion of the book began to change at his mother’s funeral. He is a man who lives entirely in the present, how terribly Buddhist of him – although, really there doesn’t seem to be all that much to him.
It didn’t really get off to the raciest of starts and the character's voice – it is told in first person – was a bit dull. At first I didn’t think I was going to enjoy it. A case where someone does not react in a way that is considered to be ‘socially appropriate’ and is therefore condemned.īut after 30 years of avoiding reading this book I have finally relented and read it. Later I was told that this book was a story about something much like the Azaria Chamberlain case. In high school friends (one of them even became my ex-wife) told me it was a great book about a man condemned to die because he was an outsider. I have done that because for the last thirty years I have known exactly what this book is about and there just didn’t seem any point in reading it. Now, that is what is called a segue, from the Italian ‘seguire’ – to follow.įor the last thirty years I have studiously avoided reading this book. Then I look back and it turns out that that I’ve given four stars to Of Human Bondage and honestly, how could I possibly have thought it was a good idea to give that book less than five stars? It is the absurdity of human conventions that has us doing such things. I give stars to books and then I think, ‘god, you give five stars to everything, people will think you are terribly undiscriminating’ – so then I give four stars or even three stars to some books. Then I look back and it turns out that that I’ve given four stars to Of Human Bondage and honestly, how could I possibly have thought it was a good idea to give that book less than five stars? It is the absurdity of human conventions that has us doing s I don’t know what to do with these stars anymore.

Now, Skyrim VR comes to a new platform – PC using SteamVR – on April 3. Last November, Bethesda Game Studios took their epic fantasy masterpiece to the exciting new frontier of virtual reality with the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR on PlayStation VR. Skyrim VR might be the coolest way to experience the world of Skyrim in theory, but in actuality it is something more like a voluntary torture session. However, it will also be bringing all of its problems. Skyrim VR will come to PC with all the same bells and whistles as it did on PSVR. The port will release on April 3rd, meaning you've got about two weeks to brush up on your Elder Scrolls lore before taking on the hordes of dragons and their undead worshipers on both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive through Steam's VR platform. Bethesda has announced that they are bringing Skyrim VR to Steam, so it will no longer be a PSVR-exclusive title - meaning you can experience Skyrim at it's best and worst simultaneously on PC now as well as PlayStation.
