World's unluckiest ship possible.

I think if someone is reading this book, they do in fact know what AIM stands for, even IF they were born in the 21st century Andrew.

Sorry babe, I'm too busy staring at the snow and being introspective about the universe to engage in the affair we are having against your spouse right now!

Really holding out hope on this one that all of these aren't just vaguely edgy stories. The first two really are.... something.

I will not cry over Jaspersprite leaving Rose. I'm stronger than that.

Frothing at the mouth with excitement for this one

The ego on this guy is killing me, crazy to refer to women as females especially when your grandmother is The Woman Who Makes Insane Bargains And Is All Powerful.

Every time we cut to Alice, I feel INSANE. She's losing her mind and everyone else is in their own little world.

I've finally hit the big critic that a lot of people seem to have with this book and I think... I think people are dumb??? It is something that is obviously being built towards throughout the entire novel, arguably it is the ONLY reason we get one as a bride and not the other???? It is FUNDAMENTALLY SO IMPORTANT????? idk maybe I'M crazy

The brief notes on how iconography was borrowed from different mythos in order to create a modern day image is incredibly fascinating and kind of just makes me want to research that more than anything else.

Oh the drowning line you are famous to me

If I don't put my progress for this extensively long series I'm reading as a long-term bit, I will absolutely fail to meet my reading goal and I cannot tolerate that.

Raspberry contortionism hey what

I still cannot tell if I actually like these short stories or if I simply want to see forest themed body horror.

Oh this book is going to House of Leaves me. Oh okay. What do you mean that isn't a real film franchise. What do you mean it's fake. Hey Jane. Hey Jane what.

OPPENHEIMER?????

I love trying to piece together this story

I get that being reality checked sucks, it does not excuse Jules from being number one on my hit list.

It's always when the count shows up that something bad happens :/ what if he showed up and like. gave his wealth to the less fortunate instead

I got lucky enough to also obtain a copy of the audio book and I have to say I prefer listening to this so much more than reading it. I know I am missing out on the different formatting styles (which I loved) that came from the incorporation of telegrams, journals, and letters BUT the descriptive prose is easier to process through narration for me.

Oh Jane Schoenbrun, you understand the formative connection between a trans person and television like no other. What do you mean an episode of a TV Show is stuck in their head? What do you mean they are psychically connected?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY LIVE AT A GOLF COURSE

In the scale of human needs, I think saving a human life is a priority over remaining employed as a content moderator.
