Yeah, I’m not sure what isn’t connecting with me. You know how when you try to get into an early, influential work - be it a book, movie, whatever - you see the origin of all kinds of tropes and you KNOW this thing came first, but you can’t get over the tropiness of some things? I think that’s kind of what it is.

I’m determined to finish it this week though, I need to move on to other things.
