This is an interesting experiment, and in some ways it worked and some ways it didn't. It's a pretty cool idea to take someone else's diary and do erasure writing with it, but the sentences were choppy and I wish it had a bit more of a throughline besides sickness and weather. It had a lot of potential, and I was left thinking about the sometimes overlooked beauty of monotony. It also made me think about what I choose to put down into my own journals, and about the tediousness of the habit. Kinda cool.

You probably want to read this book if you like blackout poetry, want a super short read, don't mind poor grammar/sentence structure, and like experimental writing. :)
