A bit too sad for a book where not much happened. Simultaneously made me care while somehow not caring at all…

I always love Morrison’s writing. In a way I wish I didn’t read the introduction before reading the short story so I could be part of the experiment. But then again, I’m glad I read the introduction so I had the context of the meaning behind the story. I’m not sure I would have caught on without that.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.
30% in and I could not care less about what’s happening. Seemed like a cool concept but just not my thing.

 It’s not my thing… I don’t think I grasped whatever the author was trying to put down 😅
