Reading this and Untamed by the same author at the same time is, wild. If you know you know; and if you don’t—ask. No spoilers here

Why is the epilogue 200 pages???

Between this and War and Peace, I’m basically a Russian historian now

:( I know I asked for the characters to die…but please

Goodreads probably thought the books that have been on my “currently reading” page for over a year were MADE for their “DNF” shelf. No, not me. (This book is really long though and the last 50 pages about military strategy have slowed my progress, I’m ready for all the 500+ characters to start dying one by one)

Obsessed

“But what is war?…The aim of war is murder; the methods of war are spying, treachery, and their encouragement, the ruin of a country’s inhabitants…and fraud and falsehood termed military craft. The habits of the military class are [in] the absence of freedom…. And in spite of all this it is the highest class, respected by everyone...he who kills most people receives the highest rewards.”

I need to stop being surprised when "the greats" are actually great

got misty eyed in pre-op reading about peaches, solid day

I will finish this before dental school. I swear it

While I unfortunately will not be able to attend this month’s literati book club, I am still tearing through this wonderful story. A paired telling of personal narrative and cultural narrative, Im learning both a person’s and a people’s story.

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to finish all of my “currently reading” shelf before starting a new book. One MAJOR caveat to this promise is: I will continue reading my book club books (yes plural) on schedule. Please call me out if you see any deviance.
