"I'm at 25%, which already feels like an achievement, almost 300 pages in and hardly scraping the surface, currently reading about Mike Hanlon and his life in Derry when he was 9 or 10, not many authors can get away with so much buildup and character development, it's an amazing writing skill, I reckon about 3% per day and I'll be finished in a month, it's quite some delicious commitment." — Oct 01, 2026 06:38PM
