"We judge others by their behavior but we think we have special information about ourselves. We know what we are really like inside so we can easily find ways to explain away our selfish acts and cling to the illusion that we are better than others."

BABBEL MENTIONED HAMDA ONCE I GET TO THAT BOOK I'M HUNTING YOU DOWN

Oh best believe I will be yapping about this when I'm done

Super interesting and educational but still very easy to read. Lots of topics touched on very quickly so more of an intro to economics and getting an understanding of what it is people study here which I appreciate.

I fell asleep listening to this and my dreams were super weird...

Hella invested now, it took a little bit to get to that point but I think once the characters sunk into my mind enough it became more fun to guess and theorize about them and their actions.

I really enjoy the writing here, it's a bit hard for me to keep track of all the characters though.

SHE HATES MY FAVORITE BOOK I WILL NOT TAKE PRIDE AND PREJUDICE SLANDER

Opening with Pride and Prejudice quotes is always a good sign

This is super fun actually, I'm loving the comedic aspect of this world and situation. This story lacks the same urgency and brutality present in the other books of Margeret Atwood that I've read but her ability to create human beings is still a constant. I love how the main couple have been created, while the content of the story feels lacking in some deep meaning to me, its still morbidly funny and entertaining

Oh this is a fun one. I'm really loving the deception.

Woah this book is not helping me with how I view relationships at all. It didn't help that I had no clue what I was going into when I picked it up. Its well written but definitely not enjoyable for me, gonna see it to the end anyway though.

People are so interesting

Oh this is uncomfortable. Like watching a car crash in slow motion

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a funny guy, unfortunately my brain isn't super big so not sure how much of this book I understood or retain (very little)

West stop pissing me off.

Definitely not as shocking as the first time I tried to read it, still a bit moody though. I'm actually not sure why it felt so hard to read the first time...maybe some of my own experiences from this year have shaped how this story impacts me or maybe its just not as high up on a pedestal in my head and I can read it more analytically. Regardless I'm gonna enjoy the book.

Take two on this one, I finish it in a week or I never will. I'm not ready to be mentally trapped in this book again.

"Death conditioning at 18 months"

This book makes me kind of sad, it took me a long time to make sense of it but it gives me more appreciation for my ability to exist in the world on my own.

MAKE IT STOP WHY DOES THIS KEEP GETTING WORSE

He just keeps digging the hole deeper

I give up on this book why is he such a little creep

I keep reading books that make me miserable

Fabulous
