OMG! OMG! OMG! I just held this book in my hands!

I showed it to my husband: “that is not a little book, it is big.”

Indeed.

@windowseat definitely a great book. I’d wanted to read it for years but only got around to it when I saw it was one of the “most abandoned “ books on goodreads. It wasn’t life changing or anything but I never considered putting it down that’s for sure! I love big books.
@greatquux Huh. Interesting that it is a “most abandoned” book, though I suppose not surprising given when I first heard about it there were quite a few people saying they never could get into it. (But the other people were so enthusiastic, I had to check it out. Can tell it is definitely not for everyone.)
@windowseat this is the post i was referencing: https://gwern.net/goodreads
I'm totally going to read as many abandoned ones as I can, and I've already read some!
