Finally picking back up and it’s just as devastating as I remember

The rollercoaster continues.

What a rollercoaster

Wow. Talk about heart-wrenching stuff..

First chapter down. So far I’m liking all of the characters and Alice Winn’s writing style. It’s very engaging. I also feel a bit of biased love towards West because I also whistle a tune for 45 minutes.

Also, “sozzled” is my new favorite term.

“Yuu, have you ever thought that your life doesn’t belong to you?”

I’m barely into this book and it went from kind of cute to messed up fast. Wow

“There is a danger that finds a certain kind of dreamer. A reader of adventurous tales and an admirer of heroic deeds will eventually begin to seek narratives beyond the bounds of pages and printed words. Characters racked by fear or the promise of failure or death overcome obstacles in the stories we read. ”

“Life without music would be an intolerable insult.”

“What draws us into the desert is the search for something intimate in the remote”

“The artist’s job? To be a miracle worker: make the blind see, the dull feel, the dead to live..”

“Poetry-even bad poetry-may be our final hope.”

“When a writer has done the best he can do, he should then withdraw from the book-writing business and take up an honest trade like shoe repair, cattle stealing, or screwworm management.”

Chapter 1 was fine. 2 was short. 3 was not my cup of tea. 4 was surprisingly fun!

“Life without music would be an intolerable insult”

“As a confirmed melancholic, I can testify that the best antidote for melancholia is action. However, like most melancholics, I suffer also from sloth”

“Every moment is precious. And precarious.”

I read this first over back in high school and with the upcoming release of Callisto Protocol and the reboot of Deadspace, I’ve been wanting some good sci-fi horror again. Hoping to enjoy it now as much as I did then.

Doing a reread after nearly 10 years.
