Quite good. Lots to digest in these opening chapters and it’s fascinating to read a book from someone who has opposite “beliefs” or “motives” than my maestro. These first chapters do well to set up Juan’s motives. He’s already put words to feelings I’ve had for quite some time, but still cannot articulate.

So close…it’s gotten much more engaging since my last update. My entire opinion might change.

BRO GOD CAN THIS BOOK RELEASE ME. so boring im trying my best but i can only read 20 pages at a time. I love the writing so much. The story is impressive, a very vivid and beautiful painted time capsule and yet the same thing keeps happening over and over. And I wish I didn’t dislike that because it does speak to the experience of failure and overcoming but I just don’t care as much as I wish I did.

I’m beginning to realize this book is just a slough to get through, but Wallace’s Stegners prose is undeniable. Each paragraph is a tangible picture.

Suddenly a lot more interesting! I was audibly gasping at a few of the pages. I’ve been having a hard time following as the story was a bit meandering. I guess I was settling in besides them and now I’ve been jolted as well. Regardless, a bit closer to the end and im ready to finish this story so I can move on to the next.

Tentative. Slow. Taking time to delve into each landscape. Every corner of a house, glance of a passerby. I feel as though I’m there in these places, like I could be these characters and make them do different if I went back in time. I know what they’re thinking when they don’t speak. Hmm, ❤️‍🩹

Lesbians !?!?🤯🤯🤯

I read the introduction. A wonderful coloring of words. The person who wrote it truly believes in this book and now I’m only on the second page but I’m in love, already. I know I’m going to love this book. The language is so strong, I feel my brain works in similar ways to the narrator. Very excited to begin this journey and find my Angle of Repose. :)

Not relating to many of these stories. They don’t leave me much to sit with but somehow I still feel like I’m learning from it.

Not enjoying this.
