A toss of sorts

It has been a conflicted time, rife briefly with discussion over the Pynchon and then relative silence. Throughout I haven't been sure if i wanted to read Against The Day exclusively or maintain a diet of side projects. It has been the former since Thursday or so. I had read a great deal from a text titled Balkan Wars which is largely a discourse on conflict in the region from 1389 to 1999. It is of merit, situating the Battle of Kosovo Plain as having more meaning to Serbs as a symbol than any historical significance. It was neither militarily nor economically conclusive to any element in the region. It simply didn't decide much.

I bought a Serbian novel, the Chinese Letter by Basara, a week ago and upon its arrival I persued it without any real purchase. It will need to wait.
