"Literary style is never more important to me than on a desert island, but more, the drawings, the correlations, the wit and color of this book would sustain me forever."

"Bought this one in an airport bookstore in Perth, Australia and have carried it around the world with me ever since. Can’t imagine being on a desert island without it."

"Invisible Cities defies every single rule that’s generally applied to fiction. Every single one. It would be silly not to have a book like that on the island with me."

Finished the story.

I have 3 words:

I. Need. More.

No, really. I won't die, but it'll be agony until I find out what happens next. It's pure torture. Pfft. Welcome to cliffhanger island. The island where you can be holding onto so many cliffs yet you can still add more cliffs to it. >_< I'm surprised I'm still hanging on. :p

Meanwhile...
Just keep waiting, just keep waiting, just keep waiting, waiting, waiting.
