This is like my fourth attempt at reading this book. I'm strangely drawn to it, but it's just so god damn boring. I'm on page 1181 out of like ~1450. This time I'm going to finish it.

Thanks, anon! I'm sure going to like it, very engaging and nice to read until now. And yes, the way life is portrayed is very... resounding, I think? It's hard to describe, but it is a very strong look on soul and its transformations, like if all life was by itself incredibly marvelous and good and that human qualities were mere cosmetic approachs with no value whatsoever. It feels like how a God would see his creations. Really nice book.
