The Nix was exactly right for me at the moment I read it. There are things about this book that are precisely wrong for me now. The academia of it all. The people who were young and free and now are middle aged and conforming. These are very specifically issues that I've been dealing with a lot lately. But in a way that makes this book feel totally unrelatable to me. I am having a totally different existential crisis

You know. I knew going in that "the challenges of parenthood" was one of the topics addressed in this book. But jfc. Hooooooooly fucking shit. These sections are fucking painful. Also where tf is Jack in all this shit.

I'm trying to get ahead of my reading goal so I can fit The Priory of the Orange Tree in somewhere, so I probably shouldn't start another 600+ page book. But I'm determined to follow the order of my physical TBR and this is next so... I hope I read it as quickly as I read The Nix!
