Ladies and gentlemen. I did it

Ladies and gentlemen. I did it

I've stolen Alex's copy. I've got one hour on the train, I'm about to speed run this shit

I managed to finish the introduction!! YIPPEE
The first line of the first chapter includes Arthur James Balfour. BALFOUR DECLARATION HERE WE COME. I LOVE GCSE HISTORY, 100 YEARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST 1912 - 2012!!

So far I feel like he's said nuanced and many factors involved, not one distinct thing. But he's said it with a bajillion words and a million complex sentences. But I like it

this is like word soup to me

Finally gay had been mentioned

Aldeburgh mentioned!!! fish n chips please

All of these mentally ill men and NONE of them are gay??

One more week fellas then I'm free

Who guards the guards? Who watches the Watchmen?

I really hope there will be some police golems in the watch MAKE IT HAPPEN TERRY

Corporal Carrot needs to get bitch slapped so he learns that women can handle themselves

Oh hell yeah this one is guy Fawkes themed

We're so back boys. Finally got the next audiobook from the library. Nigel Plainer I love you.

YES!!! YES!!!

Fucking hell heathcliff is actually evil

Hareton Earnshaw, I could fix you xxx

Heathcliff would be obsessed with the Sims 4, he would do fucked up shit to his sims the same way he schemes irl

Weirdly finding it hard to read (listen) because they're being real mean to heathcliff cus he's brown. Now I can see why it's weird emerald fennel chose Jacob elordi, you can't imagine him being racism-ed.

Listening to the audiobook from the library. I just keep getting excited when there's a line that matches Kate Bush's lil tune.

Ok this book is littered with stupid airy fairy semi religious quotes, for example

"to know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive" - Robert Louis Stevenson

turn to pg 153,

"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" - Duke Ellington

THAT'S JUST A SONG ABOUT DUKE ELLINGTON LIKING SWING MUSIC.THAT'S NOT INSPIRATIONAL

Currently going into week 6 out of I think 12?

It's got some good bits and some like, really tone deaf bits. Good thing I'm good at filtering out the shit.

Someone should really publish a much smaller, concise, better version of this book.

Mmmm yes poker, yes I understand 🧐 you play well and make money, yes.... 🤔🧘‍♀️🤑

I'M A READING MACHINE!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just going into week 4 of 12. I really think someone should condense, modernise and remove the religion aspect and then it would be like actually recommendable.

"(I always think of kriyas as spiritual seizures. Perhaps they should be spelled /crias/ because they are cries of the soil as it is wrung through changes.)"

JULIA THIS IS SOME CRAZY SHIT

Didn't realise this was going to have such a religion heavy aspect to it, I actually don't mind, but it does feel apt that I started reading this in a deconsecrated church in town.

Ventured out of the house for the first time in over a week to collect this book from the library. I was actually watching a documentary yesterday about artists interpreting science and one guy was recreating/visualising this book in the California desert.
