Halfway point
I'm about halfway through Michael Chabon's Gentlemen of the Road and I'm struck how strongly involved with Jewish themes all of his writing is. Which is fine, it's interesting stuff but I only notice when I'm in the middle of one of his books. When I'm not actively reading his books, I tend to key into other qualities in Chabon's writing and forget about the religious angle. I'm not sure Chabon would be pleased by this tendency. On the upside though, I value him for how he uses language. There's something euphonious about the way he mixes languages and vocabularies.
