I have an option to buy it really cheap and wonder if it's worth reading. It would be my first book by Barth, I've planned reading Lost In The Funhouse and The Sot Weed Factor for quite some time now and now I found this.

Anyone have read it? I thought Barth is quite popular around here, not only in terms of memetic post-modernists worship.

He's not that popular around here. Check back in a year.

I randomly read Chimera by Barth and thought it was pretty great. I have him at the top of my reading list once I finish my lengthy backlog of physical books I've purchased but never read.

Ok, I guess I must have implied it to myself after seeing him on some "Pynchon reading guide"... Anyway, I'll risk and - if it'll be any good - write about it here in a while.
