Subject: "Nothing to be Frightened Of"

Okay, so due to time-management (or lack thereof) issues, I've only read the first 95 pages, but I'm loving it!

Rather than viewing it as an autobiography--which despite JB's resistance to--was a possibility for me, I think (at least so far) it's more of a literary autobiography. That is, if you're familiar with Barnes's earlier works, there are a number of connections that emerge here and there in "Nothing". Also, it has the added bonus for me of being a meditation on mortality undertaken by a speaker who is at the least Agnostic. As an athiest, I find these issues fascinating, particularly as I view them without the optimism of an Other Force/Presence/Organising Principle at play in the universe.

I'd love to hear what people think of the book, so far, or in completion!

Cheers,

Erica
