Agreed! I'm about 2/3 of the way through. I really enjoyed the first half but then it just got a bit too odd for me. I'm definitely planning on finishing but it's not what I thought it was going to be.
December was a really weird reading month for me. This type of book is usually my kind of thing, but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. At the beginning the characters just irritated me, but as I read on I started to understand more of what the author was going for and started to appreciate the character examination. I ended up enjoying the book itself while reading it, however as soon as I put it down I would forget about it and was not in a rush to pick it back up. Overall a very mixed reading experience.

That, I completely get. I honestly was not a fan... by the end, at least. I didn't like all of the philosophical asides either, and I'm not in at all of a rush to try it again.

So let's start reading! (Leave your comments and what you're thinking as the book progresses below!)
P.S. If any of us are in a similar city, I bet it would be incredibly fun to meet up for some wine, book chatter and winter shenanigans mid-December (just a suggestion)
