Thanks so much for hanging out Melissa. I think my initial reaction was disappointment, but I’m over that. I have a proper final post up that tries to figure out exactly how I feel (which is mostly lucky for having read the book)

You’re the second person now who has confidently stated this, and of course, it makes sense. I wish I had thought of it. I also like Infinite Tasks’ theory that Lyle (along with J.O.I.) is responsible. Surely the fact that the wraith can move a Coke can shows that he can move physical objects.
Thanks all for your input

I love it, and have incorporated it into my next post…

Stice’s moving objects experience is caused by the wraith of JOI.

I knew you’d be disappointed! But, it was fun reading along with you – a first-timer (it was my 3rd reading) and hearing your perspective. Thanks for your wonderfully insightful posts. I’ll be back for your other readings, but I’ll miss IJ.
