There are so many good philosophical literary references. I love anyone who appreciates Camus.

Now that I’m past the half-baked intro, this book is actually a fun lil read.

I want this book to be good. It’s so highly praised. And I still have high hopes… but the set up for the premise of this book is horribly half-baked. Especially when considering what this author is known for. The reasoning for this story is being set up in such a terribly cliche way, with very basic form. For such a deep topic… it deserves more effort and depth.

I had zero intention of annotating this book, especially because I did it with my last read (a labor of love, but it absolutely deserved annotating). As I started reading this though, some damn good lines had me wondering if I should. THEN there was a Slaughterhouse Five reference, so now I’m annotating 😅
