This kills me. KILLS ME.

The thing about it is that I totally understand it. It starts off slow. The first book takes place over the course of one day and is really only about setting up who all the characters are and what their type of writing is like.

But damn, by the time book 5 ended, I was completely hooked. It was just long enough to set up the main plot line of the series and get you comfortable reading each character's writing. It's definitely something that would have probably turned off most mainstream audiences, but I just loved it.

I'm excited for his next book though. He's pretty far along the editing stages for it based on his social media posts and I hope it's great. I'm here for whatever he's got.

Ideally he'd release them in an ebook format so at least the stories would be out there without the publisher having to spend time and money on getting the physical book set up. Er, would the format even work in an ebook though, considering how Danielewski's writing is? Anyway, yeah I get it, it's just kinda unfortunate.
