'What I don't understand,' Geoff says, 'is why did the first fish, like the one who started land animals, suddenly decided one day to just leave the sea? Like, to leave everything he knew, to go flipping around on a land where no one had ever evolved yet for him to talk to?' He shakes his head, 'He was a brave fish, definitely, and we owe him a lot, for staring life on land and everything? But I think he must have been very depressed.'
This is the book that we're all hyping at work right now. For so many reasons. ~700 pages of witty, sad, weird (Irish) boarding school drama with all that comes with that. And Skippy, he dies in the first five pages. I have 300 pages left so I better get to it.
