OH MY GOD. Once you start reading about bed bugs it’s really hard to stop, isn’t it???
Ha! Oh yes. I had my fill of that particular horror-reading at my last job. I think this time I was responding more viscerally to the scabies reading. (EEEEEEEEEEEW!)
I need books with 800 pages, less than 900.

I’m really not sure what I’m supposed to get out of Maakies. I’ve heard it called brilliant. Brilliantly weird? Brilliantly nihilist? Is this one of those jokes only the uber-cool get? Or pretend to get? Is there nothing to get?
