“But you were only an idea to me before, an abstraction that lived in my mind and called forth its appropriate response. It was the abstraction I stabbed. But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought if your hand-grenades, if your bayonet, if your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late.”

Not very quiet after all

Time to reread a classic

It’s so funny that in the audiobook they randomly decided to give one alien character a Texan accent. I love it

Starting to get heavy on the gore now. The second half of this book is probably going to be very bloody

Well well well, things are not as they may seem

“It is a terrible thing, this kindness that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give”

What a terrifying world. I’m hooked

The way this world and the people work is very interesting. Book is starting to get good

What about the right hand of brightness?

It’s like a PVP game, but one side is playing Helldivers 2 and the other side is playing Bloons Tower Defense 6

This is basically Helldivers 2

Ngl the Red Sox are so much more interesting than the Yankees

I appreciate how clever Carl is and how adorable Donut is. They’re really quite the dynamic duo

Playing the Doom game soundtrack while reading boss fights is great. Really elevates the experience

The way the world building is done makes a lot of sense given the context of the story. Otherwise it would feel too slow and over explained. Also Donut is already such a fun character

Wow. Just nothing ever going right

Players from this era have some of the funniest quotes. They really did not care about keeping it PG when speaking to the media

War. War never changes

Hey Siri, play “Fortunate Son”

A walkoff homer to clinch a 20 game win streak is amazing stuff

Reading about the process during the trade deadline was super interesting. And then a whole chapter about an under handed pitcher lol. Love it

He gets on base!

Current Braves manager Walt Weiss mentioned

Baseball!!!
