Okay, I'm in chapter 9 of Brave New World, and I'm wondering why I keep going. Something about this damn thing keeps me plodding through it, and I want to know what.
One thing I've noticed, by the way, is this guy has no imagination for character names. The original characters? They're all named for actors or novellists, mostly actors. I'm not joking. I started suspecting it when I saw a teacher named "Ray Kinsella" -- that's the guy who wrote the novel that became the movie Field of Dreams. But then I saw a vampire named Stacy Haiduk (who was an actress who was in the short-lived WOD tv show Kindred: The Embraced ten years ago) and several other characters, and then I started Googling on a few of the names as he first gave them. All but one came up with IMDB entries on the first page of results.
This is officially annoying the crap out of me.
