The book is very nicely written so far. It’s a hard read, but I’m unstoppable with Google on hand

I’m excited to see where the story goes

“And then, very slowly, as he walked, he tilted his head back in the rain, just for a few moments, and opened his mouth…”

this book is funny

I wonder what the orange salamander on his badge represents

He did not want natural outside light but rather spark a manmade one.

“He was not happy. He was not happy. He said the words to himself. He recognized this as the true state of affairs. He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back.”

“They walked the rest of the way in silence, her thoughtful, his a kind of clenching and uncomfortable silence in which he shot her accusing glances.”

“He saw himself in her eyes, suspended in two shining drops of bright water, himself dark and tiny, in fine detail, the lines about his mouth, everything there, as if her eyes were two miraculous bits of violet amber that might capture and hold him intact.”

“ he believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on animal farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had to observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately.”

“All animals are equal
but some animals are more equal than others”

these gaslighting mother fuckers

“So that, what with the songs, the processions, Squealer’s lists of figures, the thunder of the gun, they were able to forget that their bellies were empty, at least part of the time.”

“Are you certain that this is not something that you have dreamed comrades? Have you any record of such resolution? Is it written down anywhere?”

damn mans is gaslighting them!!!!

“The distinguishing mark of a man is the HAND, the instrument with which does all his mischief.”

“Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits.”

this whole page is amazing

“There, comrades, is the answer to all of our problems. It is summed up in a single word— Man. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever.”

“She knew he could see her teeth gleaming. Knew the kelpie could see her cold smile as she bade the dead to rip him to shreds.”

OH SHIIII SHE GOT THE MASK 🦧

“He thinks that the processing plant is better than this place, at least there death comes quickly.”

“He never would have imagined he’d break the very law he established.”

so evil and unsettling

the way they’re talking about this rock star is insane

“She spends hours watching television, sleeping, drawing, staring at a fixed point.
At times, it seems she’s thinking, like she really can.”

“She looks at him and points to the TV. She laughs. He does too, without knowing what he’s laughing at or why but he does it anyway, and pulls her a little closer. Jasmine doesn’t make any sounds, but her smile vibrates throughout her body and he finds it infectious.

He runs his hand over her belly. She’s eight months pregnant.”

“What he wants to do is prohibited. But he does it anyway.”

what did this man do to her

“No one knows he’s incapable of killing the female in his barn.”

“Today Spanel sells brochettes made of ears and fingers, which she calls ‘mixed brochettes.’ She sells eyeball liquor. And tongue à la vinaigrette.”

WTF

“Teaching to kill is worse than killing.”

“Death,” Rhys whispered, hands trembling again….
“Pure death.”
