There is no reason why this should be so fucking boring. Someone better start eating people or going crazy because I can't listen to another nothing burger of a book...

[Jamie] is 35% done with Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster
If I had a nickel for every time a physicist was compared to being Prometheus I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

[Jamie] is starting The Ends of the World
Permian extinction, the worst one to happen on the earth, being compared to modern day happenings in our ocean and atmosphere is truly terrifying...Anyway, now welcome dinosaurs. The tone shift from these eras was a little funny.

It's like I'm watching a train wreck in slow motion. Also, 2nd book in a row where people build a potentially dangerous production plant RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY.

Trying to read this once more. So far this feels as if House of Leaves and the game Control had a baby.
