man his dad really did prefire the Oedipus Rex story didn't he.

I'm praising this book too much; all my updates will just be me glazing, but I just love how crazy the story is and yet you can follow it, and it's not overwhelming and creates this beautiful haze that takes you into its world when you read it

I'm crying his dad really did just say some shit like: yeah you're going to follow the prophecy of Oedipus Rex

I love this book, it's so weird and hazy and I'm just enthralled by it. The fact that Nakata murdered Kafka's dad, I ended up realizing it when they were talking about the article and I did a double take. Also those poor cats wtf

Dude the letter about the teacher who lied about some of the incident made me lock in so quickly.

I'm just very captivated by this book, and while I'm not tired, I will stop reading because I should fix my schedule to some extent

I love books that feel hazy, and this one is knocking that out of the park; i did not want to put this book down

Really amazing, but the handjob part while she asked about his sister caught me so off guard. Lowkey read that part with a confused face the whole time

the shift to focusing on Dick and Nicole is definitely more interesting for me, as I am actually more engaged in this now. It's all a bit tragic

Apr 22, 38%, pg 167

The only reason why I put down the book was because i so very tired, but once we went into the past, I was hooked.

Learning Nicole has schizophrenia, and that she was sexually abused by her father, really does make Dick look like a dirtbag for cheating on her, but I'm assuming that he's sort of 'trapped' in the relationship with Nicole now because of her mental illness

i'd imagine things will pick up from here. nothing really else to say, but definitely more interesting

Maybe Great Gatsby raised my expectations too high

it sort of feels like just stuff happening. it's not at all bad, but i'm still just a tad disappointed. I imagine it'll pick up

Apr 16, 4%, pg 19

Have to read more of this guy's books considering Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books of all time. Excited to read this one, owned this one for a while and never read it

I really like Fay's character, a complete foil to the scientific world; more free spritited and free, and a positive force for Charlie currently. Though, Algernon's behavior is bad and also Matt not recognizing him or Charlie not properly introducing himself was really sad.

The treament with his family is cruel to read. Rose's treatment of him as an inferior being rings true throughout most the characters when interacting with Charlie. it's sad to see

Thanks JJ for recommending this I love it

Heartbreaking already, seeing Charlie being made fun of without actually knowing, seeing him want to be smart so that he can relate to people and be friends, it's all heartbreaking.

man chapter 15 was phenomenal. The way he writes is so captivating. Also, the kid dors actually seem to help others before himself to an extent, everyone else seems decently hellbent

Mar 30, 54%, pg 193

Don't have much to say other than just violence the quote on page 153

"If God meant to interfere in the degeneracy of mankind would he not have done so by now?"

Dude Judge why did you kill the kid bro. i know it was you.

Also, the juxtaposition between cursing God and singing hymms was interesting. Facing evil (thenjudge), but still wanting hope
