had nothing to do with the book (in fact going back on to-read list) but I just entered a bit of a reading slump and lost all momentum

This book is not what I was lead to believe by the reviews or the summary, just wasn't for me.

This took me a while to read because there was just so much to think about. This book is essentially plotless and is very much a provocative, insightful little meander into existentialism. So smart! So enjoyable! And so much left to think about and ponder.
