Alright, this guy/thing gets it.

Alright so far I have no idea where any of this is going but the narrator is pretty great. Doesn't need to go anywhere, really.

Alright Louis CK was tough but Neil Gaiman's really bugging me. Help me out, Dederer.

... huh.

oh okay NOW they’re believable as humanities majors. here we go.

Something changed and now I’m starting to like it. Or, nothing changed but it’s growing on me. (Took its time, though.)

What, that's it? Honey we've ALL done that at least once.

Um old money new english fashion standards are great and all but I was told there was going to be a murder?

hell yeah this guy rocks

jesus christ that's gotta be rough

oh great the first time she does something solid and now she hates herself for it this book man i dunno
