Why is this genuinely good

Waiting to board my flighttttt

Pre-flight reading

Made a big deal about how Spanish expeditions kept sailing right by the Bay and then didn't even explain how it was discovered..... it was just suddenly colonized in the next chapter..... bruh

Marathon reading sesh. Honestly, not as captivated by this book as the first. I don't feel the same wonder and awe

Polar bear sequence was good - I'm starting to get more invested... but I'm also almost done

This shit too easy man.

This is fine so far. It's just like the Esther book I read earlier this year. Similar tropes. Probably would like this more if I hadn't read other whaling books already

Whoops. Actually insanely fast to read and ugh why is it genuinely good

This book is so good I can barely put it down

Cute start to the book. I like this concept already

Main story done, reading appendices. Gathering thoughts. This was so good though

Multi-year time jump confused me at first but I get it. Paul and Chani have a kid?? Whatever. What makes his sister so weird, I really must know. Good luck riding the worm, Paul...

This is getting good (still). Sleep time though

Really digging this book, I honestly can't put it down. I need to do some research but I feel like there's definitely some early Cold War cultural commentary happening here....... Potentially references to Finland? Maybe I'm imagining things.

Can't put it down, incredible read. I have no idea where this ends and I don't even know HOW it could. I suspect the ending will not be satisfying... but that's Cormac McCarthy's thing I guess.
