Callie I told you I would read this and I'm sticking to it

How is there still a hundred pages left??

Hey Justin, there's no such thing as too much 1975

"I'm getting sick of DJing my own party" made me laugh out loud

Actually I think the past chapter might be one of my favorite ones when this is all said and done

"The Maestro did NOT like his audience glurping for someone else."

Oh, okay great. Thanks for letting me know Carl

If this came out when I was in high school or middle school, I would've eat it up for sure

If my school is making me read this, I am sure as hell counting it for Goodreads lol

I know they're making this into a show, but I REALLY hope it's animated. I don't think this would look or be as good if it's irl

So the Introduction by CMM adds some depth to this novel that is actually extremely interesting. It takes the "boooo straight cis man writing about lesbians" and adds on "boooo straight cis man STOLE A REAL TRAGIC LESBIAN STORY AND TRANSFORMED IT INTO A VAMPIRE NOVEL TO SHAME(?) // VILIFY(?) LESBIANS" Like whoa! Maybe shame/vilify wasn't the right verb there but I can't think of the correct one rn. Anyway, wow

Jesus Christ, this was an unexpected transcription

I didn't realize how smutty this would be lol

Lowkey I'm bored

Call me dumb, but I CANNOT figure out if the main character has had bottom surgery or what. This is baffling

Scottish, farming Brokeback Mountain?!

Being DL in 90's Scotland must have been so difficult bc nowadays you'd just get blocked rather than having your uhhh "care package" sent BACK to your house with a letter of denial lmaoo

Omg is this gonna be a "dad is secretly gay, son is secretly gay and eventually they find out and accept each other" novel?

If I wasn't trying to stretch this out until June 1st, this chapter FOR SURE would've made me want to keep going today

What the hell John Steinbeck

What once grabbed me has since loosened its grip

Okay I'm really starting to like this. I feel the same way that I do when I read a King novel

Do I need to remember everything I'm reading about all these characters?? Are you telling me that I need to create a character chart?!?!

Okay why is this actually adorable?? If/when I go back to Hux & Hiro, I HAVE to thank that bookseller!!!

Can we PLEASE get some positive "Richard" rep in fiction lmao I'm so sick of these characters being bad people

The writing in this is literally gorgeous

I really, really wish the movie handled the "I'm sending you on the mission whether you like it or not" scene a little better. I was so unbelievably upset that people LAUGHED in my theater when this was happening, as if it isn't one of the most terrifying things ever.

One of the coolest things about this novel is that for almost any science-related doubt you have, Weir has an actual and plausible answer to it that allows his book to exist in "reality"

If a secret government took me for scientific and life-saving purposes, do you think I'd have to put in for a personal day? Or would it cancel out because it's a secret government?? Would the principal know that I was taken? Mr. Weir, I would love to know how you thought through (or didn't) this.

"I'm disturbed to think we followed the same steps, in the same world, in the same timeline, and he turned out like this."

So true Darcy

Who the hell starts a conversation (book) like that? lmao
