This is a galaxy-brain type book. It was good, there were a good many observations of how we read and take in information, but I also felt extremely stupid throughout the whole thing.

The book kept me interested to read on despite being challenging in some ways. I wanted to find out more despite the plot being quite complicated and opaque at times. The reflections on the nature of how we read and what we read for were enjoyable and thought provoking.

A silly fun meta time
This reminds me of an episode of some 90s sitcom I can't remember the title of. It basically was about a couple of kids trying to break a number of world records, failing each time. They then realize that they had actually beaten the world record of failed world record attempts. It really feels like the author actually had a bunch of great story beginnings and was not sure how to continue them... and then came up with the brilliant idea of this format.
It is one of the very best post-modern novels I've read. It's weird, in a good way, and it keeps you engaged throughout. It truly feels like an out-of-body experience... Read it if you enjoy meta fiction and ruminations on reading and writing.

Life is too short to push through books. Some pretty sentence. But very weird. Couldn't engage. Another reviewer said they were always been aware they were reading. Thats what this was
