I now have a total of 3 titles on my list of unfinished books. Take an exciting and action filled event, say the first world war. Now spend page after page using as many words as possible to describe the thoughts of a participant. Not his thoughts on what is happening but totally unrelated thoughts of unrelated events. Ignore the story happening in front of him and concentrate on whether he liked his third grade teacher. Take five long paragraphs and never quite come to a conclusion. Move on to some other inane thought stream. Repeat endlessly.
A discussion on the care and use of paint would be more interesting.
