i feel like this book wants to be profound so bad but it misses the mark. it's so long, and it feels long. some books fly by because they're interesting, but this one feels like pulling teeth to finish

trying to find a rhythm with this book

not sure if i'm feeling this book. i feel like there isn't much progress between melantho and penelope meeting and where i'm at right now. melantho had a clear fascination with penelope when they first met, but it's progressing slowly
