I finished Tar Baby this morning. I ate breakfast. I started this book eating dinner—a tuna sandwich with cucumbers and hummus, and reading on its first page: “Neither boy waited to see more; another kettleful of chickpeas smoking in a heap on the floor; soda crackers crumbled and strewn in a line next to the door sill.” Thought that was funny.

About an hour and some change to go on the audiobook

I have not enjoyed ANY of this: MC’s damn near insufferable - 1. Writing style & storytelling: flat, boring, absent, amateur-like; ()s are constant and read as the author (who’s voice is already awkward and just there) saying “which BTW” instead of writing literally EVERY page. Maria’s journals sound like the author trying to write like who MC is in his head, not consistent with how MC is written otherwise.

I’m picking up with an audiobook to passively finish today — first bad read (con.)
