What’s the most addictive book you’ve ever read? Like the kind keeps you are thinking about non-stop until you finish?

I made sure I packed a towel for my trip today. It’s a weird book of complete absurdity and nonsense packed with great life advice and deep introspection on what is a human while never making you realize it’s doing it

Many moons ago I was at my gramma's house and she said there was a box of books upstairs and I could take whatever I wanted. I saw that one and recognized the title so I read the first couple pages to see what it's about. I literally did not come back downstairs until I had finished it lol

You Hoopy frood! Funny enough I have an old t-shirt that reads “Oh the huge manatee!” with a picture of the Hindenburg morphed into a huge manatee burning midair!
