It takes a special kind of book for it to feel like you're in the come-down phase when you've got 400 pages left to go. Of course by this point I've lost all track of what kind of "shape" Against the Day offers. Unless the concept of fun is considered a shape. Then, well.

In other news, have I mentioned that I'm now pursuing a certificate in Graphic Design at a local university? It's true. On a whim. A life-changing one. So now words like "shape" and "line" are loaded for me in headache-causing ways they weren't before. Loaded like a quarter-inch brush full of watercolor. But more on that anon.

In the meantime: more Janice Galloway coverage here, here, and here.
