I'm familiar with the style now so it's easier to read. You just have to procees carefully and steadily to get the understanding.

Didn't use Eversion today.

This guy is (was) slightly bonkers.

Dark mornings.

Nice to know that there were nice people at all times. When he died, he died of TB. Wonder if the cold was a factor.

And in the darkness, the light.

He's a reader too! Did he hope his book would turn out to be a classic?

Good for the dark.

Just skipping ahead in the e-book.

Much easier to read in paperback form.

Should get on quicker now. I've taken a paper copy from the library too.

Just the intro. Great insight, though.

Well intentioned.

Finally borrowed it from the library so that I can finish it off. The irony of compulsively reading a book about compulsive behaviour (amongst other things) is not lost on me.

No.

Rooted in the past so deep that I don't know how it climbed so far out.

Storming the castle. It helped me understand the book more easily to read the back cover properly. Still a very scatterdy approacch to novelment, but at least more understandable.

Still not sure that this is either sci-fi or any good. We plough on.

Possibly the most boring and pointless start to a book I've ever read.

Thought so.

One more death to go.

I think it's safe to say I'm approaching my interest threshold for dinosaurs.

I remember being kinda into dinosaurs when I was ten. Then the Jurassic Park movies were pretty good. Then there's this. And it's okay but, y'know ...

Sort of like a kid's science fiction book?

Thought so.

It's going to end just before the end. I can just tell. Sigh.

Imagine if we had a 66 percent chance of only having 2 months to live. All of us. Would we do things differently?

The kind of book that I both want to read more of but also want to stop reading. Not sure why the mixed feelings. Good writer writes story about everyone dying, maybe?

Lot of end matter.

A man on a train. Guard walked past as the man was throwing crumbs of bread out the window. The guard asked: 'Sir, can I ask why you are throwing bread out of the window?' The man turned to look at the guard and said: 'To keep the tigers away from the train.' The guard, still more puzzled, responded: 'But there are no tigers here, sir'. The man replied: 'That's right; you see, it works!' 🤣
