Agreed, though there is a certain ring to "skeet skeet!" as a greeting or parting salutation.

PAPER MOONS is coming out March 11!
Cate takes her vitamins, does her government-mandated fitness routines somewhat regularly, and wears the compression vest that keeps her body able to function on her planet. She's fine.
...
But what's in her coffee?

"What have I done?" I asked myself. "Sweet Jesus, what have I done? Become a thief in the night, become a man on the run?"
I then asked myself such questions as, "Who am I?", "How can I ever face my fellow men?" and "How can I ever face myself again?"

I've never read that one! If the literary version of Artax is anywhere near as traumatising as the film version, I just can't.
Can I handle it?
(My habit is only about 10 pages in bed every night, or more if I'm on the bus/metro.)

"I guess the world has finally gone mad," she pantomimed, resigned to the fact that nothing makes sense.
