Status Updates From Dog Days

"I can think of nothing more appealing than to be singularly unsingular, deeply unspecial, to have no Good Story, to find the vanished house on the cerulean coast, have a party, smear chocolate cake on the walls, burn it down, and then walk right out of this book."

i'm so thankful for this latest type of text that i would call collages, but probably has a proper name. so many olympic exertions comes to mind, as does a minor chorus. so good!

it's been really good so far - i wish i had a physical copy because so far I've been doing my underlining on my ereader and it just doesn’t feel the same. but, alas, i think any copy will take weeks to get here anyway, so i am being a good little ebook reader and will wait until i'm finished to decide on if i need a print copy. so far, though? five stars.

The censored words (marked by various Xs) end up feeling even more meaningful with the author reading every single X out loud - they do also sound vaguely glitchy after a particularly long stretch of X'ing out, I have to say.
