Oh Em Gee?!

NEW BOOK FOR THE CLUB? SERIOUSLY? WE ARE DOING THIS? YAY!

4 RLZ!

Come on Jordan! Finish the damn book!

This is SRS BSNS.

Come on, Jordan. Read the stupid book already!

Finally!

So last night I finished the book. I still hate it. In fact, I hate it more. It's nice that it's over, but dang. I wasted part of my life on this piece of crap. I find it very hard to articulate exactly why I despise it so much, which is quite unusual for me. Usually I can easily analyze material and my reactions, and I tend to go off on extremely detailed rants about what I don't like and why. But in this case... I honestly don't know. I think I'm just overwhelmed by the sheer brain-bludgeoning awful of it all.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for a new book club book, you guys.

It Is Finished

And none too soon.

Seriously, what the hell.

And now I'm up to Part Three, GOREME. This whole thing is completely bewildering. It's like listening to someone ramble about their hallucination or some such. And Ned just keeps getting more and more repulsive. I mean, he wears Hawaiian shirts and plaid pants, he likes his stinky sweat smell, and he keeps thinking about those two whores, the "jellyfat" one, and the one with "black fuzz" around her nipples. Thanks a lot, Jack Dann.

Why is this book still going.

So I finally reached Part 2, NEW YORK. I still don't understand why things are happening, but I really couldn't care less.

And hold on. Junction is the future? And a dream? A mass dream?? "Every night they remember the future." (p.114) Maybe that's supposed to sound deep or mindblowing, but seriously - no. Same page: "But now that physical laws in the past are gradually becoming more indeterminate, psi has become more consistent." What the heck. None of this makes any sense.

I just want this dumb thing to end.
