Various thoughts about a wide variety of books. By no means every book I’ve read, and I give no guarantee of relative literary value. Yay books.
The entire book is a personification of that feeling when you think you know someone well and then become aware there was this whole other secret world percolating underneath them all along that you knew nothing of.
