Calvino, Perece

With Calvino's piece, I felt like it was very descriptive, as many as the recent readings have been. I also found some of it to be very humorous and entertaining as well. Some of the reading was a little drawn out but Calvino usually picked up the slack in one way or another. I guess overall, the biggest thing that I enjoy was the descriptiveness because it just added to the entire piece and made you want to become more engulfed into it.

Perec's reading for me was definitely more slow-placed in comparison to Calvino's. While yes, Perec is pretty descriptive, I was just not diggin' this piece personally. When he starts talking about the equations, I just got very lost and confused and began to realize that I was just skimming over that section rather than actually reading it.
