I am reading Tales from the Gas Station, Volume 1, at the moment. I’m not quite sure what’s going on… There are garden gnomes, and racoons and the ghost of a cowboy/clown in the bathroom… It’s really weird but so incredibly hilarious!!

At the start of the year, it was Ulysses and Infinite Jest for me. Now I have actually finally finished Ulysses, but I’m still only half way through Infinite Jest. I don’t think I’ll finish it this year. I’m planning on making it my “have to finish” for next year. I know I will feel such a sense of accomplishment once it’s over, but man, it’s a very complex story… The last time I picked it up I realised it was making me feel depressed. And this was during Covid times. I didn’t need anything else to depress me, the world was bad enough! I’ll try again next year.

I also read it for the first time this year and really enjoyed it! Did you know that there is a book called “The strange case of the Alchemist’s daughter”, which is about Mary Jekyll, Dr Jekyll’s daughter? I haven’t read it yet, but it’s on my TBR list.
