Journal Entry 1 by IsraelHands from Cardiff, Wales United Kingdom on Sunday, March 19, 2017
Yours is the jest, to pursue or neglect
Oh friend unmet! I willingly resign
Right of all ownership. Yet you'll detect
I've mixed with DFW's design
Cross-references and glossaries of mine.

Wow, what an exciting parcel to receive in the post! Brown paper tied up with string and sealed with red wax, the kind of parcel you might receive at Hogwarts. Then inside the book has two cool bookmarks and a handwritten poem and glossary. All very intriguing and I'm looking forward to reading it. The only thing that will slow me down is the size and weight of the book, as it might be too heavy to take on my commute. I will read it though!

Thank you IsraelHands for such an interesting package and book!

Unfortunately this wasn’t my cup of tea so I gave up after 100 pages. Think I’m looking for a slightly easier read at the moment! I’ll make sure the book carries on its journey to find the next reader.

It’s hard to know how to summarize the plot, partially because I’m not sure the plot is the most important part but also because I didn’t really start to piece it together until about halfway through. This is an absolute behemoth of a book and on more than one occasion, particularly during the overly detailed sections, I was tempted to give up but it had just enough for me to continue. Overall I didn't really enjoy and am just pleased to have removed it from my shelves.

Hopefully the next reader will enjoy it more.
