I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always.
Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.”
And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here.
i wish i had read this before seeing the movie. i do prefer the book and the way the story is handled, it builds up suspense very well and the ending really felt intense. i would definitely recommend this book, however, I don't think this is exactly horror...
I saw the trailer for the Netflix movie on YouTube this afternoon. I love me a Kaufman movie, and I always wished I had read Eternal Sunshine before watching the movie. So I torrented the epub and read it in three fitful hours. I'm gutted. I haven't felt this haunted by a book since House of Leaves. There's someone standing in the corner watching me. He's always been there.
The book was slow in parts due to philosophical meanderings, but created a solidly unsettling vibe that I liked. The ending was hollow and unsatisfying.
HAHA Y-I-K-E-S
this book had me sold for 218 pages and then I couldn't roll my eyes hard enough at the ending.
