I couldn’t read for about a week or so. Everything’s been so busy. Today I had a clear enough head to read during break. WOW. JUST WOW. WOAHY. WOWY. That last chapter of part one was insane. And the first chapter of part two was just fun. It’s like every time I read this book it’s just more and more of WOW. I want to finish this by the end of the month. I bet I will.

Cathy Ames. Wowy. Those 2 chapters were intense.

Yeah this going to take me 30 hours to finish. Yeah I’m still enjoying every second of it.

I am just enjoying every moment of this. After reading cannery row I didn’t expect this book to be as serious as it is. This is fantastic! I don’t care that it takes me 5 minutes per page! Adam. Wow!

I am committed. I am going to read this for the rest of the month and start the count of monte cristo in August. I don’t want to be stumped by intimidating books so I am just going for it. It’s insane how much has already happened in just 20 pages. Also these pages are taking me forever to read. It took an hour of reading to get 26 pages.

There are some heavy hitting chapters in this book so far. I’m probably going to finish this once I get off work this morning.

I’m surprised by how dense this book is already. Very very descriptive. I’m enjoying this one.

Decided to take a break from Steinbeck after Sweet Thursday. Just to let it be known, once I have money again I’m going all in on Steinbeck.

This first chapter is already heavy and I’m excited for it. I like reading about the sadness of characters and how they chose to release it or cope with it.

Yeah I’m probably going to finish this once I get off work. This book is just beautiful.

Gosh it’s actually so fun seeing the different sides of these characters, the parallels to the first book, and their stories surrounding the new characters. I stopped after a chapter that I thought was very sweet. HAHA PUN NOT INTENDED BUT I NOTICED IT IMMMMMEDIATELY. IF YIU DIDNT GET IT ITS BECAUSE THE BOOK IS CALLED SWEET THURSDAY!!!!!

I’m really enjoying this. I think I’m reading this at a slower pace. That’s fine. I think I’ll read this more at home. I tend to zone out and I want to take in as much as I can.

I’m having a good time with this one so far and enjoying the new characters.

This is actually fantastic. I looked it up and he made this after east of eden. That’s what I plan to read after this. I’ll know next week. Only 8 pages in and it just immediately feels like the other book. I’m so happy about that. Some sequels (movies particularly) don’t feel the same.

I wish I was able to read more of this but I am sleepy because I only slept 3 hours before going to the movies. I hope I finish this when I wake up.

I love Cannery Row. Everybody is so welcoming towards each other and everybody is so cool. I really enjoy how every other chapter is a little vignette that expands upon this little area in Monterey, California. I am very sleepy so I will return to this later. Gosh this book is so fun.

Didn’t get too much further. Chapter 10 made me almost cry. I can’t wait to read more of this. It’s so good.

So I read more of it but I have to stop because I am getting tired and every chapter is introducing new characters and I don’t want to get lost. This book is so fun.

I kinda don’t want to put this down already. That chapter 4 man. Jeesh. What a chapter. Only 3 pages but Wow.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON AT ALL. THE LAST 10 PAGES MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN IN MARTIAN!!!!!! I CANT WAIT TO GET BACK TO IT TOMORROW!!!!!!

Yay!!! Books!!! I can’t wait to get back to this tomorrow. This doctor is #weirdddd!!! Yippie!!!! Also the wife is #creepyyy!!! Yayyyy!!!!

This is really cool and really advanced and I know I am not retaining a good amount of it but I am here for the ride and I am enjoying what I am retaining. Very pretty so far.

This book is already goofy and sad and I’m excited to read it. I wanted to start it before going to bed that way I have a reason to go back to it during break at work tomorrow, rather than picking something else last minute. I don’t know if there are chapters or not, but there are pictures spread out. The pictures will be my stopping point goals.

I got a job. I have an hour break. Yesterday I started reading this in the car during break. I’m having a good time with this. I hope this becomes a routine because I’ll get through so many books this way. This book is really fun also. Yippie I’m reading again!!!

Just started this. The book has already introduced like 6 characters and I don’t know what’s going on. I’m also tired because I’ve had a long couple of days. Anyways. I want a popsicle but I don’t have any.

Okay so apparently this book doesn’t have chapters so I didn’t really know when to stop. There are a lot of British phrasing that’s throwing me off a bit and I’m pretty sleepy but I’m also loving this a lot. Really excited to finish this once I wake up.

I have decided to take my time with this one. I feel like nothing I’m reading is living up to Hard Rain Falling and I just want more of that at the moment. It’s hard to get over it. Anyways I’m trying to enjoy this for what it is, and to do that I have to take my time with it. Read it bit by bit. No big deal. I don’t dislike it. It’s just not Hard Rain Falling. Haha.

I think the book took a minute to find its footing for me. I’m pretty interested in these characters and how they’re going to do this apparent heist. I’m a movie person so as I’ve been reading this I’ve been thinking about True Romance and Badlands. Since I’m new to reading it helps me to find similarities in movies so I can picture the scenes better.

My god. This book is pretty hardcore. Slower at reading this one. There’s just a lot to digest. Really cool.

JACK IS NOT LITERALLY ME. I REPEAT JACK IS NOT LITERALLY ME. I JUST MEANT THAT HE WAS SAD ABOUT NOT HAVING MONEY OR ENVISIONING A FUTURE FOR HIMSELF. JACK IS NOT LITERALLY ME. OH MY GOD.

Jack is literally me except for the racism and alcoholism and friends and I guess strength. He’s probably taller than me also. That first pool game with Billy wowy! Billy is freaking sweet. I love Marty Supreme. This is Marty Supreme the book.
