Can’t wait to finish this so I can read suttin I acc like

Cool story Tarrou… but why do I need to hear about ur Daddy issues?

Okay getting better, good use of the priest and absurdist themes (only took 3 quarters of a wishy washy novel to get here kmt)- also acc further ahead, this update just never saved

Can’t tell if this book’s hard to follow, or if I couldn’t concentrate over the babbling of some little shit toddler on the train… still some beautiful passages tho

Kinda depressing having to read this (which is kinda full of itself and difficult to follow) while rly enjoying the Murakami book I’m reading

Icl this book’s about as hard to follow as Blood Meridian except it acc has speech marks 😭

340 dead in a week in a town of 200,000 is equivalent to a death rate of 170 per 100,000 which is about 10 fold the YEARLY homicide rate of Bogotá… and ppl aren’t panicking… Camus you fucking idiot, make this shit believable

Starting to remind me of the first few weeks of lockdown

Icl bro’s waffling rn… at least in The Fall the yap helped build a character (cuz second person) but here it kinda makes reading a chore at times- otherwise still solid
