Very funny and all over the place so far, really enjoying it. It’s also nice that you can read a quarter of this book over a lunch break

i love footnotes!

I’m liking the wit in this book but i think im setting myself up for failure trying to compare it to Pratchett’s wit in writing

less than 100 pages left 😲

needed something lighter to intersperse with 2666 lol

part 4 done. Very monotonous with sprinkles of plot progression throughout, but the brutality and the monotony (and the combination of both) is the point. A painful drag that culminates in an excited air of suspense as the part ends.

it’s getting bleak

part 3 done, hoping this is the end of introduction and some greater movement in the plot can begin. i imagine that it will given the title of part 4 is The Part About The Crimes

part 2 done

part 1 done, glad i picked this up again. Really liking the way that Bolaño writes

title drop page 187

Author has already referenced himself and his prior works three times… it’s just on the edge of irony enough that it’s still funny but it’s starting to lose it luster. it’s no Stephen King however
