really liked it

bookshelves: summer-challenge-2013

Man, this started out so strong. It was hilarious and full of pathos; at times I thought it felt a little Fight Clubby, too. I'm not sure if the schtick got old or what, but I just don't feel like it finished as strong as it started. I would still recommend it, though.

Quotes Jennie Liked

“There is usually a time in life when one wakes up wondering where life is leading, the future still a rushing brace of questions and ambition and opportunity. lately for Matthew, waking up feels like one thousand rhetorical questions asked without urgency, in sleepy disbelief. The one currently wedged into the head like something parasitic with spiny little fins or teeth to anchor in with is this: Am I living in a Goddam Steely Dan song?”
― Dan Kennedy, American Spirit
