How disappointing is it when a book you‘ve been meaning to read since, well, forever, falls flat of your expectations? I‘m in love with this genderless society but I feel like I‘m reading a textbook. DNF... sadly.

I think mine was an unedited or unabridged copy. Read the abridged version. I don‘t remember Stephen King being so wordy. I bet this would make a great Graphic Novel though. Hey, Google?

The boy stared at him sullenly again, the eyes that of a piggy little boy who wanted the whole jar of cookies to himself. Ain‘t he gonna be surprised when he finds out that a girl isn‘t a jar of cookies.

“Then Piglet saw what a Foolish Piglet he had been, and he was so ashamed of himself that he ran straight off home and went to bed with a headache.”

I am Piglet. Piglet is me.

I once watched this movie where the guys house was on fire the whole time, in a constant state of burning down. Everyone saw it, everyone somehow knew why it was burning. They understood it. But they never talked about it. It was kinda like oh yeah you‘re house is on fire... hm. Meaningful glance. THEY NEVER EXPLAINED IT. It just was. Helen Oyeyemi makes me feel that kind of confused. What am I missing?!

Granted, I‘m not super far into the book yet. But, my initial reaction is HUH?!
I don‘t know if it will ever make sense.

I went to The Booksmith yesterday and didn't even realize where I was until Amy handed my boyfriend his back pack. At which point, I calmly walked from the store and fangirled outside.
