What?! Holy Crap! Don't do that! It's not even that good! If you own it, just read a chapter or two so you can regain a feel for what they're like. If you don't own it, just know that each chapter is a random scene (a dream), usually in Bern, Switzerland, where something about time is different from that of reality. The dream then explores the consequences of what such a change might entail.
Also, the author assumes the reader is familiar with Bern and mentions places by name as if you are supposed to know where/what they are. I tried to mimic this quality. So when you don't immediately know what I'm talking about when I reference landmarks by their German names, that is intended.

I must not have read that book. That isn't what I remember. I remeber some girl/wraith that was like a muse or something and odd things like shoelaces and apples. Maybe I read something from that weird guy's screenplay or adaptation or whatever Emily was doing. BUT I AM GOING TO READ THAT BOOK!!!!! I'm checking it out tomorrow. You can't stop me because you are FAR AWAY and after I read this book I'll probably never want to read again. AND IT WILL BE ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!
