Bob Odenkirk

And the character in this book is having a very unique experience of time.

And she's relating her experience of reliving the same day over and over.

And I come to these passages and I'm like, that's how I felt.

That's exactly how I felt for weeks after having this heart attack.

And there's like a couple passages in here that I marked because I'm like, I've never been able to express this to people.

Yeah, can you read one?

Yeah, I'll read you a section to show you what I mean.

She says...

That in this unfathomable vastness, these infinitesimal elements are still able to hold themselves together.

She's talking about the world around us and ourselves.

That we manage to stay afloat.

That we exist at all.

That each of us has come into being as only one of untold possibilities.

She goes on like that.

And I marked that whole passage.

But then later, and I'll just read this one section.

I had a day to go, and I went with it.

There was no plan.

There was an outline, one which I could follow, floating gently.

There was no goal, no prey to be caught.
