Waiting for your thoughts.
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):

Link to comic here.
I remember sobbing reading this book.
That is ominous. I was hoping this book ends positively but I guess I should change my expectations.
lol, so you didn't finish reading it?
I should have put my message in a spoiler, sorry for that :-(
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.
