Finished reading Stephen King's 11/22/63 4/5 rating. It ramps up really slow, but otherwise plot progression and characters are really good. Though I found obdurate past moments sometimes annoying and overused. Spoiler: the fact that ending just wiped all the story was really underwhelming

One of the things I've learned from doing close readings of Toni Morrison's work is that if you have a strong sense of identity, self, and inherent ethnic pride you will be as obdurate as a mountain when it comes to dealing with the world. Nothing can really shake you, not really.

The past is an obdurate stranger that puts as many marks on us as we attempt to impose on it.
