How many pages of social media doomscrolling counts as a book? Or how many articles? Engaging with the internet is a fairly high amount of reading outside of a book. I guess my answer is “it’s unknowable” which feels disappointing but I bet there’s a lot of reading that people do in ways that we can’t even really track

the thing this book felt the most like to me was Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. It’s like the narrative is there, but it’s not (that) important. This is a story about having readers enter a dreamscape and be surrounded by the poetry of it all. Literalists will hate this.

I wanna be mad at you but honestly I read cat’s cradle like 20 years ago and I don’t remember anything
