I think that I am losing my ability to summarize books based on their plots. Lately, when asked to describe what I am reading, I've started saying things like "It's about his inner struggle to accept mortality" or "It's about the way we create meaning from experiences." I think this is a very annoying new tendency of mine, but seriously, that's how I've started thinking about novels.
I imagine that this is all leading to me just saying "It's an exploration of what it means to be a person/to exist," since hey, boil everything done and that's really what they're all about (example a: Green Eggs and Ham).
