I cannot describe how much I love this book. I have read it more than any other book, ever, including books from my childhood. I cannot recommend it highly enough, though of course everyone differs in what calls to them. Every time I start it, it’s like I’m being pulled under a dark river, rushing past and dragging me along—the feeling of light headedness, the shortness of breath is constantly there but I never quite run out of oxygen.

One of my favorite books, for sure. Good enough that I wrote my undergraduate thesis on it.
