Great lines

Still slowly reading The Monkey House. Having a week where I come home exhausted every night and fall asleep with a book in my hands like my grandma used to do. At least thus far I do not have removable teeth.

Fullerton starts each chapter with a quote. This one from my favorite playwright Tennessee Williams' "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" was particularly resonant:

'We have to distrust each other. It's our only defense against betrayal."

Some literature just doesn't fully make sense until you reach a certain age.
