I enjoy horror, fantasy, and a bit of romance. I can read a 20 book series in a month or 5 books in a year.

The thought cheers me. I may be in a position to murder time. The big net will tear and fall, with its sad contents, into oblivion. I'm owed some gratitude, but no one after my death will know I murdered time.

That's how it always was: while I was slaving away I dreamed about how I would rest quietly and peacefully on the bench, but as soon as I finally sat down on the bench I grew restless, and started looking for new work to do.

Some lines in this book had me feeling called out.
I like the premis and in many ways I like the story. I'm less comfortable with no chapter writing than I would have said I was prior to reading this book. It's done well enough to read all the way but not well enough for me to add to my bookshelf. The way it drags on is a wonderful way to get into the character's world but not necessarily an enjoyable read for me. I would still recommend it to someone if they wanted an uneasy feeling. It was a good uneasy feeling throughout.
