When I was a little kid I wanted them to get together, but now I couldn't agree more. Spike loved Julia and nothing would change that. Faye and Spike were just two lost cowboys. They were closer to family than lovers.

I want my tea and coffee as bitter as my life

Yeah, I'm sorry. It sounds like your sister is mentally disturbed. I'd go no contact for your own safety.

Oh those hold up very well. I used to reread those a lot as a kid. They have some very nice illustrated editions (Jim Kay) now that can spice up the reread too. The Stephen Fry audiobooks (UK version) are also amazing.

I usually wait a couple years at least between rereadings to give myself some time to forget the details. It'll start to come back but the ride is still enjoyable.

That's a feature, not a bug

I've been enjoying it. I find it has a very awesome vibe. As long as you don't take the whole puzzle aspect too seriously you'll have fun with the book.
