Michele Strider is 5% done with Infinite Jest

So far, for me, this book is the literary equivalent to a man bun. I don't quite understand the appeal.

If this whole series ends up being an an elaborate "three Strikes and you're out" gag, my head may actually explode.

Michele Strider is finished with Go Set a Watchman

The most awkward, unevenly paced coming-of-age novel since my first book. (Yes, I know... That's a low blow, indeed.) Full review coming soon. First -- bourbon.

Did the Tea Party publish this book? (No, Rupert Murdoch did. Same diff...) I hope this book pulls out of its tailspin before the end.

Michele Strider is on page 183 of 278 of Go Set a Watchman

As badly as this is written, I do relate to Jean Louise's frustration and disillusionment. Given that I heard the same sentiments expressed in the 1980s and 1990s, it's particularly upsetting.

The one upside I found to reading this is that it's making me more aware of and less embarrassed by the flaws in my own work.

The "Quarters"... There's an ugly term from my childhood. So far this book is making me feel very creepy.
