    I read it through in one night on his website. Towards the end I felt like my eyes bled from the strain. Worth it.

    The shovel story was my first time coming across the “Ship of Theseus” question as well.

      Really hooked you too eh? I can’t remember how I came across it but I read the first page of the website and that was it, I was in. I think I read it for 4-5 hours at work without stopping. Crazy good book.

        Yep, never read someone who managed to hit that perfect balance of laugh-out-loud funny and actually creepy.
