I actually loved how apathetic the main character was

>"Sure whatever"

hate how it's been less than a month since I finished this and I already forgot nearly all the character names, and have trouble reconstructing even some basic plotlines. I know the info is still there, and that once I start reading the book I'll suddenly remember almost everything. But why is my memory-retrieval ability so shit?

>> No.13580535

>>13580517
I mean, I know I understood everything at the time, and that I felt deeply engaged with the story. I even had some major emotional uproars near the end. I just don't understand how it can be gone like that. I'm gonna have to sit here for 10 minutes just trying to remember these experiences. Fuckin sluggish cognitive tempo, or whatever I saw them call it on youtube.

I'm such a Mersault that I can barely be bothered processing or thinking about the actual book. I have read all the words and basically understand the themes and concepts enough to write some surface level bullshit about it, but none of it interests me and I'd rather blankly eat a dry piece of toast while staring into space and thinking nothing
