First book this 2020.
Alaska died on the 11th of January. I finished reading this book on the same day. Just found this creepy. Lol. Anyway. I had mixed emotions reading this book. The first part was kind of boring. But the other half, most especially the ending, got me thinking bout life. I didn’t even know what the Great Perhaps was until I finished reading the book. By the way, according to Google, Great Perhaps is when one has come to peace with oneself. I googled it because I got intrigued by Miles’ final essay on life and death, and the afterlife.
Now, after having finished reading this book, it left me with a lot of questions. Made me rethink about my life and my goals.
But I’m still curious, what really happened to Alaska?

Trodde dette skulle være en søt feelgood bok. Så feil kan man ta.

People seem to like it a lot more than AAOK (which I like better), but it’s still pretty good

The book was interesting but generally did not live up to the hype. The first part was quite a great piece of work but eh, I don't know. Overall it just was ok.
