still chugging

damn. I have not given up on this book yet but it makes me feel dumb. I do not understand what is going on the big words are too big and frequent.

already loving this yayyyyy

so. jon krakauer just has this way of writing that makes me understand things i have deemed previously overwhelming. like understanding JUST how unprepared american soldiers were for the invasion of Iraq… it’s astounding the horrors i am reading it’s making me queasy (krakauer writing has often made me psychically feel sick, he is amazing and gifted)

wow, the chapter “Black, Fat, Policed” is very very good. Drawing comparisons to black individuals killed by police violence often have other “health complications” attributed to their cause of death (eric hill, george floyd) when in reality… it was a COP who killed then and their violence that led to their death.

I am going to be honest, I am having a hard time digesting and understanding parts of this book. There are a lot of nuances and comparisons that I am trying to grasp but feel like I need higher education to understand.

rocks.

i’ve barely started this book and i’m already scared.

i feel like Ana in the beginning of Frozen, ITS CORONATION DAY!

i was struggling to get through the middle of this book bc i needed something to HAPPEN! so i rented the audiobook from the library, turned it on and BOOM carrie coon is one of the narrator and something immediately happened

i love you so much dolly alderton

not me having to get to page 351 to REALLY start feeling good about where we’re at. like rabecca, ITS ENOUGH LOCATIONS I AM TRYING SO HARD TO NOT BE CONFUSED ❤️

so good. started listening on audiobook rather than physical book.

things are starting to make more sense but… Rabecca i’m just gonna have to trust you bc pages 1-120 girl… i have been telling myself calming thoughts

i want her to stop naming people as if we’ve met them before… WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE

THIS BOOK SERIES IS SO FUQING GOOD I AM GASPING ON THE TRAIN
