This 'tell all, show nothing' first person narrative is just not getting any better.

I can't figure out what annoys me more about this book - the lack of any quoteworthy sentences or its abject failure to create any emotional resonance.

"Civilization, like intelligence, may serve well, serve adequately, or fail to serve its adaptive function. When civilization fails to serve, it must disintegrate unless it is acted upon by unifying internal or external forces."

Frustrating indeed. I am completely unaffected by the dystopian horror so far.
Sounds ominous Sama. I have the motto of never dropping a book but Lessing herself advised to quit a read that didn't meet our current moods or expectations...
This is my first Butler so I'll just have to trudge on and see what lies ahead. Not willing to give up so soon.
