read the classics major episode which was funny. unfortunately i don’t know who this guy is so it’s goodbye for ted

i am having some serious beef with the “magic system” of this “world” which at 70% has not been any better explained than it was at 10%. why does peter need eight pages of “furious scribbling” and “algorithms” to think of a fun ted ed video paradox??? probably the first time i’ve laughed reading this book

bro went to cambridge once and never got over it… also citing pascal’s wager as an example of good math is kind of offensive

this is actually quite well-written and even though the contents are immediately predictable by an avid college blog reader it’s very inspiring. in fact it almost moved me to consider alternate career paths until apropos of nothing my mom came over and said to me that i should just be a quant because i am so smart it would be limiting myself to not make a lot of money

cracking this open knowing FULL well i am one of the excellent sheep and i will finish this and trot straight off to my tech job

DAMN i missed reading books by people who know how to write books

this is worse than ao3 bruh the author has pulled the “narrator has minor accident mid-argument with situationship forcing them to confront each other in extremely unrealistic dialogue” THREE times. HOW did she pull this guy btw the only explanation i have is that he moved away for so long he forgot her personality

such an annoying book to read that i’m kind of embarrassed for asian people. like gang WHAT are we doing here. please switch up in the next 100 pages or i’m selling my kindle

rounding out the teen depression duo before i’m old. i am opening this book with a strong mental image of holden as rodrick from diary of a wimpy kid (movie was traumatizing to kid me btw) and if someone jumpscares me with blond hair i will be mad

gotta hurry up before the expiry date of Real Internship hits and this gets depressing instead of entertaining

o k ay

qntm is like crack which does not bode well for my research meeting in 8 hours

with the number of reviews this book has one would think sally rooney could afford a quotation mark key

four-year-late reread: i remember the first time i read this i thought it was kind of boring and everyone was annoying. but something must have changed within me because i now see that henry is nothing more than a deeply unserious lowkey autistic chill guy

committing myself to reading this slowly for the next ten years after which i will attain enlightenment and evolve into my final form (a bigger nerd) (my ebook copy of this is 1600 pages long)

okay the first two reviews on goodreads are both shitting on this so i’m demotivated

back in business baby (his investment bank is tanking and i’m so unemployed i’m setting my wake up alarm for 1pm)

bro said he was gonna take a quick detour from his life story to describe mortgage bonds and he’s been on this for like 100 pages ☹️ come back 😥

what in the world

what in the world

boycotting semicolons from now on

there is a recurring type of run-on sentence in this book that is totally unique in style from the run-on sentences written by any other author and you can always tell within the first few words if you are at the beginning of one of the Sentences and at first i liked the novelty of it but now it’s as if if virginia woolf does not drop one of these every other page she will die

okay tom wolfe is not THAT funny i don’t understand why this was the 1987 book of the moment

i never want to finish this book i’m just going to keep rereading chapters at random on rollercoaster lines

not bad, sick cover (not this one), only slightly damaged by the dubiously clean interior of avery’s backpack. we may be back

was banging at the beginning but slowly banged less as i went on
