Could I propose something...
I think this would be better as a thread than a chat; wouldn't the opportunity to openly write a response rather than choppy blurts be better?
I also feel the fact that some of us cannot get to a computer at that time limits the accessibility to everyone.
I took a long time to read the first two chapters and even read some literary criticism about it. There's a totally necessary concept (seemingly... not really sure) that deals with the use of everything, nothing, something, and their respective colors in the novel. Everything is white, nothing is black, something is yellow and dull blue. And gray is neither something nor nothing or a combination of both. Look at how much those words appear. The minimal descriptions really seem reliant on the fact that he is describing "everything" which really takes a minimal description. It was fascinating to read what this guy said about it, and it made me antsy to go deeper.
I'd love to discuss, could we do it in this thread?
And I don't want to ruffle what seems like a good thing; I wouldn't be offended if it didn't change at all.
