Continuing my thought. Now I read it and I am IMMERSED. I mean it is EVERY SENTENCE. I’m like THIS IS EXACTLY HOWI FEEL ALL THE TIME. Every single word demands you attention and thought, not in a straining or tedious way but in a way where I literally cannot put the book down until Shaw finishes his thought.

Read this book maybe 5 years ago and now I really understand what it means when someone as a person is not ready to read a book. I liked it before, I thought it was interesting, but I couldn’t relate to the things it was saying. Which is interesting in itself because maybe something in me knew I had to buy it - I SEARCHED for this book - but I didn’t understand it when I read it. What made me look for it??

Could finish because it wasn’t as specific as I’d want, it was a little too joke-y for my taste and wasn’t what I thought it would be
