19/52: Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris, 1/5 StarsI can hear the whispers from under the weight of my mouse. When I touch it, they stop. I roll it around in an attempt to squash them... FOREVER... sorry, sometimes I get a lil' crazy... SQUASH THEM because there are many of them and they grate on my consciousness to the point that I can't think--CAN'T THINK AT ALL--and I want to jump up on my desk in the middle of the day and stomp--STOMPSTOMPSTOMPSTOMP--this damn mouse into the ground and all the way to CHINA!
Okay, that paragraph I just wrote was infinitely more interesting than the entire 384 pages of this book. It was written, to me, in the vein of A Confederacy of Dunces, but ends up far from that mark.
