I’m quite enjoying this. Funny, though. I heard it was supposed to be scary, terrifying, even. But somehow I find the experience of reading it…soothing, comforting…I think part of that comes from just how hard it is to wrap your head around it. The puzzle leaves little room for fear or angst or melancholy. It’s like I can feel my mind… lulling my soul to sleep, and there’s a peculiar contentment in that.

Well…I knew this book would be scary…but that intense anal fingerblasting scene was a bit more than I expected…

Oh, God. This is going to be a bumpy ride. I’m intrigued, but still seems a bit early in the book for me to be developing a headache…
