So good. The last passages feel like a dream where you suddenly understand everything and you’re warm and fulfilled— but you know when you wake you’ll never be able to explain it and the memory will become indistinct.

Louco. Doidinho. Piradaço. Curti e merece uma tradução, até pra facilitar a leitura do livro.

Entirely unintelligible, which is a shame because I'm sure there are some very interesting ideas hidden amongst all of the inane rambling
Edit: After reading some sparknotes I kind of understand what the book was about, I definitely pulled out some of the themes (7 days of destruction, colonisation) but still the book was so difficult to read page-by-page that towards the end I had to force myself not to worry about the sentences I didn't understand on first pass. Bumped from 2 => 2.5
