Round 4, baby. You’ve been sitting on my shelf for years, just taunting me. Now I’m going to finish you.

Look who finally finished Chapter 9 and it’s 100 footnotes :)

Listen I was on page 130 or something when I started reading tonight and it looks like I made no progress but I did follow a footnote maze for a solid 45 minutes so I actually read a ton tonight

I’m enjoying the book but I’m reminded of why I started losing steam right about here last time I read it: Derrida. Yes, I did have to look up an explanation of deconstructionist theory. It’s been a while since my literary criticism class.

I love me some non-linear storytelling
