    bone blocks clocks by David Mitchell. idgi other than that

    • I recognize most of the characters from cloud Atlas even though he’s changed the names

    • the self insert character (I think it’s the self insert) is insufferable. at least the one singular character Andy weir knows how to write is genuinely funny.

    • oh wow yeah the distinctness of the British dialect is well evidenced here and probably a decent part of why I’m having difficulty following at times

    • I usually enjoy surreal stream of consciousness more, but I suspect it just hasn’t pulled together properly yet.

    TLDR; I really enjoyed cloud Atlas and this was $1 at a used book sale but I’m only ~1/6 of the way through so I’ll give it a little longer
