Doing nothing but reading this today. Have to see how it ends and yet I don’t want it to.

Spent most of today outside in the sun reading this incredible book. It has me tearing up for the words alone, never mind the plot. There’s a passage that has to be one of the most beautiful collection of words written in the English language (when combined with the characters and context of the narrative). I nearly quoted it but I’m not even going to say what page it’s on. It needs to be experienced.

Yup. This is some stunning writing.
