This is a very different book from what im used to reading. Its interesting how each chapter is particularly different and brings its own aspect to the book. I like the title Flauberts parrot which relates to lulu and his short story. I think its funny how the narrator is traveling and goes to the musium and acualy veiws a parrot. Then he finds the other one in the house not knowing which one was acually Flauberts. This book is fairly funny i think. The three chronologies in chapter 2 is pritty cool because it gives us alot of insite about Flaubert that i wouldnt other wise know much about him. Im curious to see where the book goes from here considering that it brings so many twists.

I also enjoy how Barnes wrote this novel, this is because you don't know whats comming next, it is almost thrilling thinking about what he will talk about next.
You have a very different opinion on Flaubert's Parrot than most people. I agree the randomness of the chapters shifts your mind into different thinking, but the fact that we don't really gain very much from the text upsets me. I mean there is no real purpose for each chapter other than to explain Geoffery's obsession with Flaubert in different ways.
