I think you write much better on similar subjects, but you should definetely try to read him. I read two books: Possibility of an Island (which I found quite entertaining and liked a lot for just that) and Atomized (or Elementary Particles) which I did not like because the entertaining stuff is the same as in the other one, so it was like watching a rerun, altough the envelope is different. It might be that if I would read Atomized first and PossOfIsl second it would be the other way around. Yet, i barely finished Atomized, spitting and cursing. It is a lttle bit like reading Pelevin: after a while he bores you to death with endless repetitions of the same shit, tat may be funny at first. Anyway, I'll try his Platform in a few.

By the way (and the point of the comment): I remembered in the middle of the night who suggested reading Houellebecq to me. It was Kostya not Katya, so I am having doubts now. But curiosity will probably prevail.
