Naïve. Super 
A charming story of a different kind of person! A person who still has a deeply rooted connection to childhood at 25, who refuses to do things that seem meaningless, who carefully thinks twice before making simple choices, but who dares to admit feeling scared when thinking of the "big questions" in life. Undoubtedly, the narrator seems a bit odd, but I closed the book with a smile on my face and the suspicion that it actually is much more strange to go on repeating regular patterns infinitely
What a lovely book. Cute, funny, and interesting. After reading this, I feel motivated to write lists of the things I love, play with bouncy balls, and explore places that seem overwhelming. :)

3.5 stars.This book was....charming, yes that is the exact word for this novel. The language used was so simple, but at the same time the author conveyed so easily everyhting he needed. And the way it was written reminded me a bit the Flowers for Algernon. I liked the book overall and it made me to think about the things that excited me in my childhood. I'll post the list of things later.
What a satisfying read. Nothing happens, in the most fascinating way imaginable. Just as I wrote that last sentence I remembered the feeling of watching My Dinner with Andre for the first time. This novel gave me a similar feeling--happy to be alive, happy to be literate, happy to have time to read and to think. It's that kind of book.
Simplicity's best and simply the easiest - and this book is an exact example for this. There's no need to try hard and make things more and more complicated when there's an easier way to solve the problems: just stay ignorant to them. Be childish. Ask simple questions which always have answers, and do not spend forces on finding answers to questions that don't even make sense really.This book is naive. This is why it's super
I just love Loe's style, his weird, but extremely relatable characters, his sense for little things and his lists. An easy, fun and excellent read. I have also learned a lot about time :).

If someone could have every uncensored thought in their head over a few days typed out and rolled into a book, this book would be it. It speaks to you like a best friend would. With no intention of seeming cool, and every intention of being true.My brother nods. He asks me whether I have ever considered thinking less.I tell him I consider it all the time, but that its not that easy.The unnamed lead protagonist is a nice guy. And hes just that, a nice guy. No frills attached. But hes a nice guyA charming story of a different kind of person!
