I hate these stock phrases so goddamn much. Think of something new, you fucking hacks.

The first time I tried reading it, I ended up quitting not long after Pirate Prentice's first section ended.

I finished it about a year ago after taking nearly a year to read it though.
Great book, but I actually prefer Inherent Vice.
