Do I "get" the book? I still need to do a last pass but yeah, I think I do actually. The very first time I read it all the conspiracy flew over my head and I tried to only focus on VM Straka. Not so fast. Fast forward to today and I can track the hypotheses much easier. Perks of being 21, rather than 14 then. I think you also have to accept it'll be perpetually incomplete. There's a lot of context that's just missing. Guesses are good though. The point is that this work is in medias res. Like House of Leaves, you're eavesdropping into conversations. You enter it in the middle of a problem and exit it in the middle of a problem. Is it the same problem? Not really, but you're still left with the same number of questions.
