I want to finish, but my eyelids are too heavy. Boy did the pace ratchet up! M-O-O-N, that spells tired.

It’s a cruel joke. I knew that I shouldn’t get too attached to anyone, and yet. Here I am teary-eyed and brokenhearted because I loved people too quickly. Roughly 200 pages left and the inexorable approach of The End is almost upon me. Will there be more tears? Most likely. More laughter? I truly hope so.

P.S. I would die for Kojak

Half way…and so much left!

Things to remember: Harold is no longer a sympathetic character for me, Stu is in his thirties not his fifties (oops), Mother Abby is amazing, and Trashy is insane.

It feels insulting to make such a small dent, but when a book is 1153 pages you must take what bites you can. So far, I’m intrigued and ready to keep reading.
