I remember second-guessing ever picking up the book. Always gravitating toward tragedies. I remember feeling a sense of sick reluctance, because I'd had much too much of the bleak, gloomy overarching themes to all that I've ventured to read this year. One story down, & it feels like a sucker punch. I didn't know I was sinking into the quicksand of the tale the moment it began. & I don't mind sinking some more.
