Do you like it y/n 😬

While it is predictably not the kind of book I might normal pick up, I am enjoying it tremendously.

My enjoyment is doubled by such passages as "The following day I awoke with the sun. Heading south, I drove rural roads hugged by cotton fields and bottomlands. These low-lying marshes, littered with bald cypress, their bulbous bottoms jutting skyward, are ubiquitous in the South, like Spanish moss. Swamp encroached on the road, the land so flat the rumour of rain could have flooded the highway. The air sagged." like, were you an uncredited writer for True Detectives?

But the content is subtly blowing my mind, because while I remember the youtube video described, the giant fish jumping with such force as to knock people out of their boats? I have no recollection of any of this in any news source that I might have been casually or accidentally consuming through any of the later years. I had no idea this was going on until I read the book summary.

..lol, yes, I like it.
