There are still some brave souls out there trekking through the Sonoran desert with us.
First and foremost, Infinite Zombies is absolutely packed with insight and analysis. If you care at all about 2666, it is required reading. http://infinitezombies.wordpress.com/
Frequent Zombies contributor Steve Brassawe also has his own blog of 2666 commentary: A Solipsist’s 2666

We still have some discussion going on over in the forums as well:

If you are following along, leave a comment and let us know! Ready to quit yet? Loving it? Hating it, but reading anyway? And leave a link if you are posting your thoughts elsewhere.
Hat tip to our own Nicole at bibliographing (one of the best lit blogs out there, btw) for the roundup idea this week.
Can’t touch these links until I finish the book. I’m frustratingly a bit ahead of the reading group, but I can’t seem to regulate my reading at this point. I just have to forge on! No spoilers from me though, I promise. But I”m incredibly eager to hear what you all have to say.
Michael, we’re honoring the spoiler line at Infinite Zombies, if that’s what’s holding you back.
I came in a little late, and not to toot my own horn, but I’m trying to do a post per week at http://ablogabout2666.wordpress.com/
I got off to a late start but I’m doing a post per week at http://ablogabout2666.wordpress.com/
Still here. Following along, but not reading the blog and forum lately. I’m behind (still finishing up “Fate”) but aim to catch up.
Following along with the reading and the blogs here and at bolanobolano.com. I am enjoying the blogs more, at this point, than the novel itself, but I am determined to persevere. I sense “truth” or revelation of some kind in the pages ahead, and so I slog on through the “litany of death” you’ve all described so well. Just wanted you to know that there are likely many of us, silently wading, out here beside you.
Late to getting involved in the comments, but I’ve been following along and enjoying the conversation. Trying to say more here and over at my blog.
Maybe this WAS the shortest of the reads sections but for me it was one of the hardest – I am stickin with it and thank you for all the very helpful posts
OPPS Think I meant this comment for the week 9 read – but this was hard with all the deaths too.
Given up on the blogging, but not on 2666. Just called by to check where I am with respect to the schedule. Looking good! Prefer to read blog posts at the end of a book. Looking forward to catching up with eveyone’s insights then.
