Finding this much more grounded than The Cannibal, which I couldn’t finish. And the prose!

“There is a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is being. There is nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be nonbeing.” Gertrude Stein, who let you in here?

Alex is on page 100 of 788 of Prae: Vol. 1 (Prae, #1)

This is definitely unlike anything I've ever read. Having a blast and not sweating my frequent lack of comprehension. More than worth it when the stretches of gobbledygook theorizing are interrupted by some of the most gorgeous descriptive passages in all of literature.

Alex is on page 50 of 548 of The Pale King
