damn, maybe i should try reading some fiction today. it's been ages.

yeah i've always liked non-linear stuff. tbh i've never seen it as such a big deal (like hello the ODYSSEY is non-linear, it's hardly a new thing).
but the minutiae thing is pretty new to me. i don't just think it's a gimmick either. having said that i haven't read any joyce who by all accounts is the master of minutiae so maybe i'm not qualified.
has anyone read
my struggle? i'm kinda tempted.....
