THE MAGUS

 

THE MAGUS

EXHAUSTED.  FRUSTRATED.  OVERWHELMED.  ANGRY. 

SURPRISED.  INTRIGRUED.  ELATED.  DEPRESSED.  HAUNTED. 

Ma·gus   [mey-guhs]

1.  a magician, sorcerer, or astrologer.

2.  The nauseousness from being whipped around too long on a roller coaster.

3.  The frustrating fear of being lost in a maze of mirrors at the House of Horrors. 

4.  Mental maze of insanity

5.  Emotional torture

 I just finished the book. 

My shocked revulsion and voyeuristic curiosity are at war with each other.  Am I repulsed or awed? 

I don’t know what to say or to write --- which makes sense --- because you don’t know what you think until you write it.  I can’t write it because I don’t know what I think.  I am exhausted and speechless. 

I wanted to write my blog tonight, but I just cannot put any coherent thoughts together.  Hopefully, a night’s sleep will help me organize my response to The Magus.  The dreams are sure to be interesting.
