I really can't find an excuse to read this for more than 10 pages at a time. It's boring, but it's picking up. The metafiction aspect is coming into play: the world is a tongue-in-cheek parallel universe that is almost exactly like our own, except that we (the readers) are in a parallel universe that the subject of the book (an author) created. If this turns into a goddam murder mystery, I'll kms.

Still not funny, but also not alarmingly mindless. Just mild? Ugh, continuing on I guess.

From back of book: "The funniest novel I've read in years."
No? Two people making fun of the how slovenly and obese each other are isn't really qualifying as comedy. I have no one to even extend empathy toward since everyone is portrayed as a narcissistic (read: holier-than-thou), morally vacant piece-of-shit. Even the PKD references (that I've caught) have failed to save the humor in this. OH FEKKIN WELL
