this is my first fredrick bachman book! I’m taking my time with this one.

I am doing a reread of this book, now that I know more what type of book it is (and have everything fresh in memory for the next books) and I'm listening to Dark Souls 3 music at the same time it really sets the tone perfectly and helps me with feeling the different shades of horror, dispair etc

for the first 20ish percent of this book I found it very hard to imagine that this was going to turn funny and I am very happy to say I just lack imagination bc I am low-key loling over here. The little quips, the dialogue, the analogies of the niche yet incredibly relatable moments in life!!!!! finally having fun w this one yay

Ngl I’m struggling 🫤 I have a Libby deadline for my loan and it’s been interesting enough so far I guess. I rarely dnf so I’ll prob keep going but I can’t help but think that if I dnf, I prob would move on just fine. I also weirdly kept thinking about the similarities to another book I read in the beginning of the year so it’s throwing me off. Maybe it’s just me.

Waiting for more explanations because I may only half understand this hierarchy situation.

I'm excited about the app, but I've found that I'm enjoying the website even more than what I expected to! I'm not sure if it's because it kind of feels peaceful not being on my phone (since it's became an extension of work for me), or if it just reminds me of simpler times, when I didn't have a phone and life felt less fast-paced. Either way, it's amazing to have something like this when everything else is filled with AI.

I think I'm on a reader's block. A couple of weeks ago I finished with all of my college stuff and now that I have time to read my body just won't lol. The thing is I DO want to read, but instead I spend time on my phone doing nothing. Any tips, short book recs anything is welcome.
