You know when you read a book all the way through, and you don’t dislike<\/em> it, but you finish it with a vague feeling of disgruntlement, as if there was something better you could have done with your time? That’s how I feel about the book I just finished. (Chuck Palahniuk’s Damned<\/em><\/a>, if you’re curious.)<\/p>\n
