Today I found out they made this into an opera and it's showing at a movie theater near my house in about two weeks... 👁️👁️

I love getting to a chapter you can't put down!

And we're back to November 18th

I feel like I have to warn everyone about the 15+ page eternal damnation sermon in the middle of this book

Back from the library! So excited to finish this damn thing

Commute audiobook; probably won't finish before it's back to the library

...does this get better

50% of this book is the character asking "oh yeah? What do you mean?"

If you can get beyond the stylistic quirks it is an interesting novel about amnesia, good bed time reading, reminds me a lot of The Rainbow by DH Lawrence

This will probably go back to the library before I am done, but I'm kind of curiously enjoying it enough to consider buying a copy? Took a while to ignore how every paragraph starts with the word "and", but the style and content are ferrying me through

Seems like Butler wants to summon some otherworldly, archetypal being of Life, and uses the imagery of our presence of blood hidden behind our limbs as the mystical vehicle. Prose, indeed, and ceremonial perhaps? The rhythmic subtlety invoked gets broken by the bluntness of the subject matter, which doesn't all mesh well... Whose intentions should I be questioning, the writer or the reader?

its coherent and fun- some of the subject matter borders on folkloric! but im not sure how interested i am in learning about magazine publishers...

"cover your ears! cover your eyes! but did you know your body is made of dismembered rotting garbage?!" is how I'd sum up these first fifty pages. also, the Cone is legitimate in my eyes.

um... not sure what I just read, but I can get down with humanizing the affliction we deem "Madness"
