Kaip nuostabu kai senai pirktos ir neskaitytos knygos yra tokios geros. Bet ir kiek skaudu kad anksčiau neprisiruošiau

Would've been great to read while I was in academia myself

I think I need at least a 2 hour recap of the first book to make sense of this.

Coked out Alice: I forgot that my spells did indeed work, I was quite a good magician.

Me: me too.

Snorting chalk was definitely a choice by both our beloved protagonist and the author.

Can't stop won't stop

A book full of missed opportunities.

How do you explain the notion "that the opressed have to ensure the safety of the opressors"?

Is all humanity defeatist?

Still don't know what's going on 🥹

Halfway in but still don't know what's going on in most on the timelines

Zhang Beihai for Wallfacer!

A palate cleanser

The book is telling me to take a rest and fortify myself before the next chapters. I guess it's getting even worse 🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛

Not all books are meant to be read before bed 🍽️💩🥲

Decided to freak muself outduring vacation

"la bullshitisation de l'économie n'en est qu'à ses débuts" - said in the most pretentious stereotypic accent you could imagine.
