The Third Policeman (Flann O'Brien)

[*]

One of the few books I have started that I actually did not finish. Perhaps I would have slogged through it if I felt like I had some leisure time (that is, time to waste). But I didn't feel that way and this is certainly even more esoteric and off-beat than I was expecting. Somehow this abstract 'novel' (with no real plot, how can it really be a novel?) is referenced or related to the television show Lost. I hope I read enough to figure out how. Something about death and hell and infinite loops, but it was also supposed to be funny (in some Irish way that I didn't understand). We'll see.

P.S. I still haven't seen how this relates to Lost (11/25/06)
