Why do these people keep slapping or fighting each other with such little provocation? Like even before The Events occur. Was this just what the normal level of violence was before they took the lead out of the petrol?

when your new rock spiderdog bestie moves into your ship and brings loads of shit with him and he doesn't even help you carry it because he's got to live inside a geodesic ball 👁️👄👁️

I can't believe it took this long for someone to suggest making global warming worse on purpose to combat the effect of the sun cooling from the astrophages, I've been thinking this every time they mentioned climate

As a language nerd I'm LOVING Rocky and Grace learning to communicate, but because the Rocky speaks in musical notes on the page, I keep reading his speech as sounding like the Clangers lmao

Rocky I love you. He's just a lil guy who likes tape measures

Oh this is so stupid I've just put it together that if the ship is called Hail Mary and the sole scientist on it is called Grace then thats a riff on the first line of the prayer
Hail Mary, full of grace
😭😭

Ryland is teaching me physics and I like his vibes

The slow creeping obviousness of Merricat being fucking bonkers

Obviously Merricat is an unreliable narrator but I do think Cousin Charles is an arsehole. Like who does he think he is barging in like he owns the place and being rude about Uncle Julian. Let my old man have dementia in peace

"I know he flirts with you."
"The man flirts with everyone, Proctor. It's like being the victim of a drive by shooting."

This is very mysterious

I'm getting serious Truman show vibes rn

It's been a while since a book grabbed me like this hell yeah. What the fuck is going on here....
It's giving Brave New World in many ways

Don't even ask me about Emma.
Picked this up in Waterstones and started getting into it in the cafe lass uns lesen...

Back at it. Alex is making the kinds of stupid choices that only a man would make. I'm not being hyperbolic or funny I actually mean that but it's low-key spoilers so I'll stick it in a comment

Jack Merridew is such a little bastard

"I believe it was Anton Chekhov who said that if you introduce a shedload of hallucinogenic mushrooms in Act One, you have to do them all by the end of Act Three at the latest."

This poem.... Makes no sense at all until you get to about page 200 and then suddenly you've got to go back and re-read every chapter epigraph in order to try and piece it together

This is so hard to finish for the sole reason that I don't like it when they're mean to my Shane and I struggle with books where people are miserable :( (my ass is NEVER reading a little life)

Yknow guys I don't think Mr Flayne was quite right in the head

The word utopia is showing up a lot in a way that feels pointed. Like, they mentioned nightclubs called Utopia, Eden, Elysium, and Xanadu and then the next chapter heading poem featured all of those except Xanadu. And now utopia popping up again. I'm connecting the dots

Hey Alex mate. What the Fuck is "The Annihilator" and why do you keep mentioning it offhand

I have to say these characters actually have a really well thought out relationship and conflicts this is not what I expected from this book

I picked this up because it looked silly but honestly this story is genuinely quite good

Didn't expect this to have tech dystopia elements

Piggy the only reasonable character. My boy...... (I read this in school)

Ilya's going to lose his shit in public if this keeps up and Shane's one skincare routine away from turning into Patrick Bateman

There is something clinically significant about the ways Shane feels about food in this book

I need to give ilya a big hug :(((((

Oh WHAT !! 🦪??
