A Fraction of the Whole
A Fraction of the Whole – Steve Toltz
Not sure, off a sales list. Think it was a 99 cent buy. Looked “interesting,” given my penchant for off-beat humorists.
“After everything that’s happened, I know the mind isn’t worth the membrane it’s printed on.” Page 8.
Right. I remember.
“The past is truly an inoperable tumor that spreads to the present.” Page 18.
Cheerfully darkly comic.
“It was as though great big trucks filled with words drove up to our heads and dumped their contents directly into our brains.” Page 27.
After reading a few more pages, I set it aside, only to be reminded of it after seeing this review, moving back into the digital stack of books I’m going to read sooner rather than later.
“Only people regaining consciousness in movies ask for water. In real life you think of cocktails with pineapple chunks and little umbrellas.” Page 40.
Just a taste.
