Tough to finish. 2666 is a masterpiece, and the weight of it slugged me. It was hard reading the part about the killings - rape, murder, ad nauseum, but the last section was fantastic and the first section was nearly as good. I finished it, and despite lack of closure, I felt like I'd gone through something.

I think I need to read it again, maybe a year from now, and in the original. The book has a lingering sense of dread but also this constant feeling that there's something else to find.
