37.23%, 24h52m, one more chapter.

Already beautiful (read prologue + chapter 1).

36.76%, 24h33m, Ch 47 done. Snakes are sentient!!??

22.48%, 15h1m, Ch 28 done. Nice, some progress! I need to learn more about quantum stuff.

19.59%, 13h5m, Ch 24 done. Hopefully he'll know better by that point.

19.04%, 12h43m, Ch 23 done. This is already making me feel more than the original books. It's nice to have the story be this much less neurotypical.

9.08%, 6h4m, Ch 14 done. Haha, this is great! It's making so many improvements to silly things in the originals.

5.06%, 3h23m, Ch 7 done. Setting up a really fun, very different type of relationship with Draco Malfoy here (who I think is also rather different from the source material). Curious how it will all progress.

3.44%, 2h14m, Ch 6 finished. Loving it.

1.77%, 1h11m, Ch 5 finished. That was fun! I'm very curious how this version of HP is going to relate to all the other characters.

38m40s or three chapters finished. Fascinating so far. It seems to be moving rather quickly compared to the source material.

Women fighting to genetic memory to humanity's survival. It is easy to empathize with Idaho's pain and frustration.

That conversation between Leto and Hwi... either I don't understand (quite possible with this series), or they're rather mistaken. Growing the psyche by surviving, learning that something works on one planet so it can work on another... but people forget so quickly, which is why history repeats itself. How will this be different? Also that stream metaphor was like determinism, but that won't end with the Golden Path.

I wonder if Leto's revelation to Hwi will redeem him. His character is so provocative!

This may well be a challenge to listen to on my bike, the way I usually consume audio books, as the language is too dated and the turns of phrase too intricate for the mind (at least mine) not to get distracted by the slightest traffic mishap or random thought. I managed to get through the introduction alright, but once I got to the book proper I had to restart several times. Well, maybe it's more of a shower book.

This story is fascinating and beautifully painful.

It is so cool.

This man could really write.

Finally got to new content. And I'm excited again to continue! Hopefully I can make quicker progress this time and maintain that enthusiasm.
