Trapaholics voice: this some hot garbage but I can’t stop reading

I should be shot

No, it’s cool. I just didn’t expect the final 150 pages to be about Don Gately interfacing with J.O. Incandenza’s ghost.

Really incredible that it took 600ish pages for all the seemingly unrelated plots to start coalescing into single story and now, nearly 250 pages later, that hasn’t come to fruition at all and it would appear that all but one or two of them have been completely abandoned lol

“The Xmas cards had had excruciating little watercolor pictures of locomotives on them. She could barely stand to think about them, even at the best of times, which the present was not.”

I think that these few pages were genuinely the worst thing I could read at present; I’m about to go demap myself lol

The N*cks just upped the item and turned Don Gately to Swiss cheese

“‘Fuck the Albertans,’ Steeply said … ‘They’re wackos.’”

Really incredible that it’s taken around 500 pages for the many seemingly meaningless plots that were introduced to sort of start to coalesce.

“…They, Them, Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents, A.F.R.s, the ones who come always in the twilight, implacably squeaking, and cannot be reasoned with or bargained with, feel no pity or remorse, or fear (except for a rumored fear of steep hills)…”

Really sad that I’m now approaching the halfway point because I don’t think I’ll be able to read anything else ever again once I finish this lol

“Certain far-right fringes in Alberta weren’t too pleased, but not much pleased an Albertan far-rightist anyway.”

Thinking I might have been grown in a lab to be this book’s target audience.

“The sour Saskatchewanese kid next to Hal has been making impressive schematic drawings of automatic weaponry in his notebook all semester.”

Feeling vindicated in my assessment that nine of ten Saskatchewan men are perpetually on the precipice of committing a mass shooting
