Reading someone get buried alive then slowly suffocate to death will make you wish some authors weren't good writers because wtf now I'm traumatized

"God puts earth far away from heaven because even he can’t stand the smell
of dead flesh."

I need Nina to get everything she wants

"This is the first mistake God make. Time. God was a fool to create time.
It’s the one thing that even he run out of. But me beyond time. Me in the now, which is now which is also then. Then is also soon and soon might as
well be if."

Good to be back. I still don't know why I read 100 pages in one day the just never continued for two months, especially since I've been glazing it ever since. Perhaps I was trying to supplement my reading goal with smaller reads? Either way returning to the kaleidoscopic gritty violence of 70's Jamaica, slipping into the hard lives of its realized and expansive cast has been a blast. I have to finish this soon.

So that was scarring 😀

"I see seven people in one room and one pregnant and people fucking anyway because people so poor that they can’t even afford shame "
