Completed book 3 of 24.
I’m starting to realize how long I’ll be working on this.

“[…]men are never so serious, thoughtful, and intent, as when they are at stool[.]” Jonathan Swift was really unhinged in this section.
Voyage to Laputa complete.

Completed the Voyage to Brobdingnag. I feel like this book is one that Puritan teen boys would sneak out to the barn to read and snicker over together.

Thus ends the Voyage to Lilliput. No one told me I was in for 18th-century potty humor!

Two hundred pages to go. Whew!

It’s really quite insufferable. Reminds me of The Great Gatsby. But I’ve listened to 7 hours of the audiobook already so I’m not giving up now.

This book is weird.

Okay... This is the spiciest book I've ever read. Not like that's a hard bar for me to reach. But I'm getting UNCOMFORTABLE. I thought the musical was raunchy and now I realize it's really dialed back. 😅

So. Many. Names. A casual chapter beginning: “A very happy personage in the year of grace 1482, was the noble gentleman Robert d’Estouteville, chevalier, Sieur de Beyne, Baron d’Ivry and Saint Andry en la Marche, counselor and chamberlain to the king, and guard of the provostship of Paris.”

Guys I think Almanzo likes Laura eeeeek!!!

Help it’s so different from the show 😭
