"I’m going to finish it, but it’s not really thrilling. Not that a book needs to be thrilling. It’s satire that tends towards earnestness when it doesn’t have a bead trained on anything in particular. Also conveys some real pathos, I think. It flirts with thrilling elements, which is good. More meditative, though." — Aug 13, 2022 09:29AM

Cherish it!" cried Hilarious, fiercely. "What else do any of you have? Hold it tightly by it's little tentacle, don't let the Freudians coax it away or the pharmacists poison it out of you. Whatever it is, hold it dear, for when you lose it you go over by that much to the others. You begin to cease to be.”
