extremely weird book. about reading and writing, sort of stream-of-consciousness. nice to listen to and to zone in and out of.

This was totally unique, extremely internal, and honestly a little hard to follow. More of a meditation than a traditional narrative.

Unfortunately gave up after giving it many many goes, on chapter 3 (which seems to be where most people give up, glad I’m not the only one)

This book can only be described as what would happen if i was able to write down my string of thoughts while on a long but uneventful acid trip. There’s certainly some unique insight into the human mind to be found among the many many blocks of text, but overall it’s aimless, stylistically mediocre, and nowhere near as smart and true as it thinks it is.

I am still counting it towards my reading goal for the time I wasted on it ❤️
