Still plodding through John Dies at the End. I suppose I’ll finish it, but not terribly enthusiastically.
Part of the problem is that David is just such a tedious asshole. He’s not even an interesting asshole - he’s just petulant and self-absorbed and dull.
And part of the problem is that it tries so hard to be witty, but it’s just mostly… not. It has its moments, but too many of the bits that were obviously supposed to be witty turns of phrase just fall flat.
It’s okay I guess, and I do want to see how it all plays out, but it’s just nowhere near as good as I’d hoped.

I liked his second book more. This book is full of spiders
