Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep.--

You've heard of a page turner but how about a book turner?

Wasted some time trying to decipher if the missing letters in chapter 13 meant anything, decided they probably don't so the blanks themselves probably mean something else.

Lot of progress today but it's mainly because of the formatting of chapter 10
