I think the list of ‘stuff I gave up on and totally regret it’ would be waaaaay longer.

Reckon I’ve started this 5 or 6 times now. Never made it past chapter 2.

I actually really liked the baseball bit at the start - if that doesn’t do anything for you it’s probably not worth another go tbh.

Yeah I love the baseball chapter - seriously beautiful writing - but then I hit the second chapter and it’s … :neutral_face:

I sacked it off after 20 pages, but it felt like I was much further because they just dragged on.

Degrees, persevered but shouldn’t have. I should’ve switched course.

Ah, ok. Then it’s fully worth wading through - it flits between characters and time periods so you’re not stuck there for too long. It is a bit of a whiplash moment. There are a couple more sections that nearly made me tap out but there are some truly wonderful parts too.

your stuff is dead good so pls keep making it and posting it here, thanks.

Maybe.

It’s also the original hardback I’ve got because I bought it when it first came out in the initial fuss. I think part of it is that I just don’t like holding massive hardback books! Maybe I should bung it on the kindle.

maybe i should pick up my guitar again. i know id enjoy it i just never find time to do anything music-wise but i think itd be really good for me. dont think ive played since 2008 :scream:

Hah, yeah I was lugging the paperback between home and work for months. If I’d had the hardback I’d have probably thrown my shoulder out.

Can’t think of anything really. My family I guess. Could’ve sacked them off in my early 20s with some justification but looking back I’m glad I didn’t.
