I just started a re-read of this book the other night. I first read it years ago, and the story has kind of stuck with me. Occasionally I'll find myself thinking about the oddness of the Navidson house, or Truant's descent as he struggles to piece together Zampano's notes.

Anyone else read and enjoyed this book?

One of my favorite books of all time. Haven't read it in probably 8 years or so.

I've read it 4 times now.

frick this book! Hahaha.

I aborted my initial attempt at reading this thing after a few pages in.

Years later, September 2018, I started reading it again and pushed through to the end. This book destroyed my reading for the whole of 2019 as I did not complete it or any other book.

I absolutely loved Truant's sections of stream of consciousness, but was uninterested and beat down by the Navidson Record parts.

I appreciate the effort the author made with the book. It's no doubt an ambitiously constructed novel, but definitely wasn't my cup of tea.

Finally finished it in January of this year, I believe. Will probably never revisit it again.

Only Revolutions is a lot of fun as well.
