my failing body has been positively contributing to my reading experience
I have anemia, low blood pressure, GERD and low blood sugar. It's also averaging 40°C where I live.
I sit and I read House of Leaves. I get freaked, tired, fed up, whatever. I get up too fast, I get dizzy- tunnel vision, acid reflux, convulsive syncope, the works.
I'm forced to sit back down. I read more House of Leaves. I get up, repeat.
It's like a mysterious force is destroying me from the inside out and making me sit and read the book, it's incredible. I try and get up, leave my room leave my house leave my couch or leave my bed, fuck! I'm forced back down in such an awful way.
10/10 reading experience, I can't even describe it. I don't want to get weird about this but you know.
