Ran is 24% done with Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
I'm only 1/4 through the book and I've already sobbed 3x and almost had an anxiety attack 1x.

This is making me hate our species.

So, looks like Axel, our main character, is maybe 19-20 years old? Assuming it was set in the present day, that is. He says he was "not born until 19 years afterwards" when the Professor mentioned an 1825 visit from a peer.

I recently rewatched Brendan Fraser's Journey to the Center of the Earth, which made me realize that I still haven't read the book to this day. It wasn't in our reading list when I was in high school or college, so there's that. Let's see how this goes.

Currently feeling like antivax material which isn't what I signed up for, but I'm willing to be more open-minded about this.

The amount of “oh, might as well” moments in this book is ridiculous, but I’m into the mystery.

The first 2% is filled with praises for the book. I'm not reading any of that. Don't want to expect too much.

Liking it so far, but I’m irked at some character decisions and unrealistic subplots. Let’s see how it goes.
