If I go home and my apartment, job, and girlfriend aren’t mine, I’m absolutely crossing off every realistic possibility before I think I traveled to a fucking alternate dimension lol

Interesting. I’m not an alcoholic but I’ve definitely drank my share of alcohol and I thought The Girl On The Train did a great job capturing the feeling of half remembering something that happened in a black out and the feeling of anxiety and shame that comes with it.

Oh interesting. I tried the Wayward Pine series and gave up after like a hundred pages. I think we have opposite reading tastes haha

I’m halfway through it right now and I’ve found I enjoy it a lot more if I just like…half skim? Like I read everything but if I don’t understand a word or sentence I just keep going without worrying about it and find I still generally understand the scene and what’s happening.

Reading Cormac McCarthy is like looking at modern art, you gotta just squint a bit and not worry too much about understanding everything
