I just started reading the novel on my ipad. Excellent on the treadmill or waiting in doctor office. Anyone care to join me and discuss it?

I did the same thing with Moby Dick. Was turned on by a Dreyfus class I podcasted in which 5 or so of the lectures concerned the book. Incredibly valuable.Oh man. I read it twice but that was forever ago.
For all Bros K readers... I suggest looking up UC Berkeley Philosophy class called Existentialism in Literature and Film, by the late Hubert Dreyfus. Full semesters of lecture are online somewhere, and I recall them providing excellent insights into the book and highlight some themes to look out for.
I like the idea of an uninitiated mind.... but sometimes it really helps to have a guide if its a good one.
Thanks for this suggestion.I suggest looking up UC Berkeley Philosophy class called Existentialism in Literature and Film, by the late Hubert Dreyfus.
Awesome. Its been so long since this experience that I forgotten almost everything about it except for my sense that it was valuable somehow. I may have to put Bros K on the reading list again.what Dreyfus says about "self" can be said about all literary characters. They are ways of being a human...of being a "self" and degrees of awareness of being a self. His comments on the many names of each brother is also something else to look out for.
I like the "both versions are true" theme.
