I can't understand a single word in the fist sentence! Is anyone else reading this. Please help! I thought it would be in Irish or Gaelic at least!

I've decided to buy a used copy soon and research books and online websites that will help me decipher this incredible masterpiece.

Haha, no. It's stream of consciousness. You have to just go with it and accept it, and it will influence you like a dream, unconsciously. It's all about the language and word play, not so much the story.

Gotcha! What a thick brain I have. It's a gift seriusly. I wrote fist sentence. I think that's what the pompous so-called literary elite call meta-fiction. Who cares?Ten minutes ago I was trying to descry a note in my Tony the Tiger notebook Ann gave me once. I'll go get it and be right back. I first thought it said, :I'm so think it takes a long time for thought to boil up." Couldn't be right. Ah. I was making a metaphor. My brain slowly works on thoughts as they enter and rolls them around for months or years at a time. In the last few days I've had epiphanies that comnnected important p[arts of my life in new ways.
More soon. It's after midnight and my usual bed time is eight and up at ten. Thanks.
