Never has a book tempted me so much to not finish it 😓

What is this, Coleen Hoover?? FFS. 🤦‍♂️🤮

Oh, Sandra, darling… no.

I wanted to read this for years and finally started it a few days ago. I’m halfway through and (so far) I can say this is the most boring thing I’ve ever read in my life. 🤯

The Battle of Life (1846)

I couldn’t wait for Lieutenant Mamiya’s chapter to end, when I saw the next one is PART 2 - even more of the same war-talk 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Part 3: ★★★★★

Part 2: ★★★★★

Part 1: ★★★★★

There’s not a single comma in the whole thing OMG 😆

Wow, this is not at all what I expected (so far), sorry to say it’s soOoOooOoOo boring 🤔

2. Foundation and Empire

Another re-read in English.
Just like the first book, this one’s way better now than the first time ✨

Just bought myself the English version, couldn’t deal with the Macedonian translation 👿 Moving on… ✨

The translation is complete and utter sh*t. Last translated book I’m reading 👿 I mostly tend to keep to the originals (in English), but sometimes I give a chance to stuff like this; to quote Poe: NEVERMORE.

1. Foundation

A re-read in English.
Even better than the first time ✨

My Goodreads is a mess, I lost all my books and I’m adding them one by one… Got around 1000 to go, sorry for clogging up your timeline, just ignore them 😭

I’ve been reading this in parts in-between books, when I couldn’t decide what to read next. I’m halfway through and I’ll finish it this time, I just can’t afford to pause it again, it’s arguably one of the best things I’ve ever read. Not to exaggerate, but it could be THE best thing I’ve ever read, even better than his novels and stories themselves 🙌🏻
