Foucault's Pendulum is one of the most aggravating books I've ever started.

I'm currently 84 pages into Dreamsnake. It's from 1978. It's about a healer in a post-apocalyptic wasteland who uses snakes to treat people's ailments. I can't post an update attached to the specific title for some reason. What is with things glitching out? General atrophy? I was just in Brazil. This was a problem a few weeks before I left. I thought things would've been fixed by now! What do I pay taxes for anyway?!

I'm not really feeling it. Why don't I LIKE anything anymore???

Aw, that little robot tried to reconnect with that other little robot but the other little robot didn't remember the little robot because he was "fixed."

Clowes is so cynical. It can be a lot!

Too much history to cover. Sounded impossible.

I don't know, there's a new story about a bounty hunter or something? A guy shoots a bunch of people in order to rescue a teenage boy from a crime family? Couldn't we just stick with the morose girl and her grandfather's voice?

Was the opening chapter published as a short story years ago? It feels very familiar... Got this as a Christmas gift from Colleen! I hope it doesn't drive me crazy!!!

I got to the part where ecstasy is introduced to Berlin last night and boom! Today there's a Facebook memory from 2015 of me saying my dog based memes originated in Berlin.

Would I like her first collection more now that I'm not in college? Because Jesus, this collection is really, really good.

One page in, so much better than Bad Bad.

"I was now moving off into other places and couldn't even answer the question, so she didn't press it." (pg. 11)
