That sometimes happens to me. With The 27th City, I didn't even notice the main character had died, lololol.

Wait, that's a bad thing.

You must be really shit at reading, OP. Bump to embarrass OP because no one relates.

i was confused as fuck about whether quentin was a boy or a girl in the sound and the fury until i looked it up and realized that caddy's daughter was named quentin as well, hence the constant he/she in reference to the name. but i probably would have figured that out by the time jason's chapter comes along.

do you read particularly experimental fiction, op?

Well, there's your problem. I can order the band online but it'll take two to three weeks to get here, and then four to six hours to install it. Might be better off with a new washer.

Dude, it's okay... We can fail together. We'll show 'em! For Buster, and Mom, and Pop, and the entire 32nd Ranged Battalion! God dammit, we will pin the hearts of the Vietnamese to our sleeves and walk like a meat salesman! IF YOU CAN CHANGE AND I CAN CHANGE then maybe we should see other people.
