If you read this book expecting it to be a novel just because the title included the phrase "A Novel?", would you be disappointed to find it wasn't a novel after all? Would you keep reading it to the end, hoping there would be some kind of payoff, making it all worthwhile? Would you feel like an easy mark for having made the effort? Wouldn't it be more fun to listen to the audiobook? What if the audiobook were narrated by the cast members of Whose Line Is It Anyway? What if the audiobook had a laugh track? Would you still feel the urge to read something, anything else, right away, as a palate cleanser? Would "mental floss" be a more appropriate term than "palate cleanser?" If there were such a thing as mental floss, would you floss daily? If dental floss is for the space between your teeth, could mental floss be used for liminal spaces? Do some people have liminal space between their teeth? What kind of specialist would recommend mental floss? How do you feel about needing separate insurance plans for medical care and dental care? What's the difference between a duck? Does anyone else remember that joke? Was that really a joke, or is that line perhaps in the same vein as this "novel" that isn't really a novel? Would an illicit substance help you appreciate the joke? Would an illicit substance help you appreciate the book? What would be the difference between the dose needed to appreciate the joke and the dose needed to appreciate the book? How much of that illicit substance did the author use when he wrote this book? Do inquiring minds really want to know? Are there better things to inquire about? Is there a sequel in the works? Would the sequel to this book be the answers to all of the questions in the first book? Have I said enough yet? How would I know?
