This book is strange.

I feel really weird about it. I can't stop thinking about it. I want to read it a million times. I never want to read it again. I want to, fuck i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. I'm glad i read it. i wish i never read it.

fuck. fuck. fuck....

I wish it was a little different from how it is. But if it was, would it be anywhere near as perfect? good? amazing? awful? right, it just feels right, as it is?
