i love science. i love people. i love space!

This book is just going to get me to anthropomorphize every single bit of tech I have lol

Done with book 1! definitely see the doctor who ness of it all. to get the most out of it, i do think that you'd need to just accept that there are oddities and parts of the book/world that you will not understand, and that you are just like arthur dent. a mere human who is along for the ride. but! amusing and fun nonetheless, to read about their adventures.

i am, just like my parents are, searching for their home

fascinating. i find that entanglement is comforting, that we are connected by the past even though we are now distant

This is so poetic, I love the metaphors they string together and the way they describe certain things. Getting good

I want visuals, I want details, I want More. Though the gaps can be filled in with my imagination, I guess.

i can be tired but not sad. stop being guilty over feeling tired!!!

stumbled upon her book reading with the person that she co-authored a book with

!!!!

I am reading this with a grain of salt, but goshdarn it makes me want to run.

note that this is all 6 books in 1.

crushingly sad and blunt

crushingly sad and medically/morally fascinating mind this guy has

Very accessible. Will probably convince me to try meditation. This is a slim book that I will consume slowly on the train.

about 3/4 of the way done. how is this going to end!!! oh i love a dramatic tale. i find her time in america to be the most interesting, as she is confronted with culture shock and trying to refind herself in a completely new environment.

guessing I'm about 100 pages in and it's very interesting how their main argument is focusing on the need for a diverse knowledge base ("background knowledge") in order for students to be able to become better readers and learners. It then begs the question of what's worthy of being taught at schools, which is...a very controversial issue probably.

there's 5 novels in one technically. but an easy read so i won't count them as individual books, i guess.

How will this end? Also - I want to play the games that they produce in the book...is Mapletown supposed to be Maplestory? My memory is foggy but there are certainly similarities...

I am simply devouring this book. I'm enjoying the relationship dynamic over the course of several years as they develop their first and second games. It scratches a simple itch in my brain -- I've missed relatable fiction. Sam is very relatable. To me at least.

It's so far very easy to read. I can deff relate to both of the main characters. Also fun to know the geography of the area and know the streets that are referenced in the Harvard/MIT area :)

I'm reading through a textbook lol. Great examples from classical to more contemporary songs showing the musical aspects he is highlighting though!
