"all this flipping back and forth to read the footnotes is no good for my poor little weak wrists - other than that I’m loving this book so far. It’s going to take a while but I’m excited for the journey this book will take me on.
Yes, it’ll probably come at the cost of my reading goal. However, I think DFW would have absolutely abhorred the idea of book goals so I don’t feel even slightly bad about it." — Nov 20, 2025 09:31AM

“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”
