It’s probably the slowest I’ve read a book for a long time. Though again part of that might be the sort of melancholic slowness of the plot which I think is a purposeful device. But damn I’d probably be 300 pages into anything else by now and I keep falling asleep after a handful.

If you ever find any let me know. I was so excited to read Suttree and by all accounts the setting it’s delightful but fuck me it’s hard to read.
