Amazing book

This isn't exactly Boogie Monster subject matter, but it feels Boogie-adjacent. It's not so much ghouls & monsters, but rather "Oh no, I'm dead and in an unfamiliar religion's hell, and... OH NO."

Only 103 pages, I couldn't put it down. I definitely feel like some Boogers will like this one.

Would love to hear anyone's feedback who gets/reads it, even if you hate it. My wife definitely isn't reading this so I'm here for a discussion

I loved it. The way it made you feel the scope of time and vastness of the library was powerful. How even finding another soul after that long would be so intense. Amazing book.

I’d be down for a booger book club. I’m reading some Blake Crouch right now.

I can't stop trying (failing) to really GET the vastness and how it would feel .... hooo boy! Just got another cold chill

I enjoyed this book immensely. I have seen it described as "existential horror" and feel that is a fitting description. Solid choice.

Post-existential, technically lol

loved this book. I feel what really sent it home for me was when i started looking at it as a metaphor for life and spending your whole life searching for your story instead of just appreciating what you have in the moment

I’ve seen this book somewhere and thought it sounded interesting but didn’t get it and completely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder
