And if you are in it it's very easy to read. You just to keep going on, because when you forgot who said what you get lost. There is no he said, she said. There's only subjects speaking, no author explaining. No double quotes.
My favorite book
That book was one of the weirdest experiences of my life. I didn't know anything about it, just started flipping through it at the library (probably shelved near something I was interested in), and ended up reading the entire thing in one sitting. So I'm definitely with you.
I think my mind was still racing from that book a year later, and I was hoping that it was Gaddis's style (I didn't know anything about him) and I'd be able to find other books by him (or anyone else) written with that velocity. I did not:(
edit: Would appreciate recommendations, though.

I keep trying to get through this but I can't do it, it makes the loss too difficult to overcome.
