The characters are just as horribly bland as porridge in my sick days

OHMYGOD OHMYGODDDDD

My bet is on John Foster being Barney's secret identity. Is it too good to be true? Sure. Do I object to the idea? Definitely not.

I’m not so ready to finish it

Tom and Dessi Hamilton would stay with me forever.

Why do people have to be so mean?? *proceed to like mean characters*

I'm thoroughly fascinated by Cathy and Liza, especially Cathy. What a character! So compelling, so wicked, yet so amoral. Call me vile but I'd like to see Adam break and never be recovered.

Did Lem just make a critique about pattern recognition and its overly mislead intellectualism?

Colonel Scott on Enterprise ship… I see what you’re doing here Liu

Soooo you all want to go on board with the first contact because the probe looks pretty?? *face palm*

My theory before I make a fool of myself: the masked man is Julien himself. Daniel is his half-brother which makes Sempere Julien's father, and the dead body is Jose. There, I've said it. Let's see how wrong I'm going to be.

"Only a person of deep faith could afford the luxury of religious skepticism"

Dumas’s vision of Parisian society contains only handful of people who knew one another and I love that for him

“Since we are remembering one another’s names, let’s remember all of them” EDMOND NO ONE CAN MAKE ME HATE YOU

I need to pause and pace around my room trying to calm myself; it’s so intense!

อาทิตย์ที่ผ่านมาแว่นที่ใส่สั้นลงจนหยุดอ่านไป พอกลับมาอ่านต่อพล็อตก็เข้มข้นขึ้นมากละ จากเดิมแนะนำตัวละครใหม่รายบทมาเป็นตัวละครตายรายบทแทน
