What I am reading today.

I’m about half way through but I’m going to go for a walk and will finish when I return.

      I’m almost done but I’m enjoying it. It almost has an innocence to it. It’s just an old fisherman struggling with a fish.

        That’s what everyone seems to say. I’ve never read it, but from the outside it sounds like a really kinda pure story that you can imbue with extra meaning and emotion. Idk, I’ve never read it.

        Also just remembered this SMBC comic about the size of the fish (spoiler b/c I don’t know how important this is to the plot):

        spoiler

        cartoon of a page with several story ideas ending in "Old man tries to fit whole fish in boat, but FISH TOO BIG" triple underlined and with stars and arrows around it

        Link to comic here.

        That is ominous. I was hoping this book ends positively but I guess I should change my expectations.

            Yeah life got in the way.

            Haha it’s fine, don’t feel bad. I think I’d rather know beforehand since the last two books were dystopian with bleak endings.
