Lovely passage where the grandfather talks to a German priest about flying to the moon

Weird lumping in of Japanese, Chinese and South Asian bodies - which are all actually v different.

X% to win $Y. Pages and pages of this. Yawn.

Numbers *yawn*

Really interesting stuff about pundits

Oof. Difficult.

Good grief, this Marilynne Robinson piece is dull!

Loved the Edward P Jones piece!

Excellent Margaret Atwood piece on the need for complex female characters (though the stuff at the beginning about what a novel is and isn't was a bit off topic and odd).

Loving it.

A bit of racism??!

More economics and less finance now, thankfully. And it helps that a teenage character is explaining it in layman's terms.

So confused. Long conversation about bond auctions (what???) and I don't even know who's speaking anymore.

Unimpressed by her claim that all pleasures in life consolation prizes for those who don't have children.

I'm enjoying this so far, though I disagree with Moran's views here on (a) burlesque and (b) gay men.

Really picking up pace and intrigue now!

Weird racism towards Koreans? Such a white book euuurrrggghhh

A bit too much male gaze and lust and misogyny. Would prefer to go back to reading about the female characters.

Oh look, some gender norms

Finding the writing a bit stilted and hard to read so far.

"the general look of a man who has, all his life, followed some imperceptibly but fatally askew rainbow" nup don't know about that

The most boring piece on John Wayne
