Status Updates From Menetetty maa

man. i have got to stop asking whether or not a book needs an extra one hundred pages. but. does this book need one hundred more pages? it could be over by now. i wonder if this is a reading preference i'm growing to have, or if every book i've been reading is just longer than it needs to be. i'm still willing to give McCarthy his space to work it out though, because it is well-written.
