Compelling and sobering.

Agggh, I am totally hooked on this sprawling, convoluted, hilarious, mind-bending, time-traveling story. It just keeps getting more and more complicated! Also not sure how much more l337 5p34k I can read before my eyes melt.

These puzzles are hard, but fun and satisfying!

I’ve only done the first two puzzles and already I can tell that I am going to LOVE this book!

We are using this book for my Spanish Conversation class.

My last FAR/AIM was from 2015 when I started training to become a pilot. Time to refresh and update!

I've been stuck at this point in this book for a while now, because it is so equally inspiring and FRUSTRATING. I can only read about 5 pages before I want to argue with the author (which I do in the margins). Trying to decide whether it's worth reading the rest or not.

I'm listening to this in audiobook format. I'm 3 chapters in and it is TOTALLY gripping!

I am also having fun writing in the book on pages that feature train trips I've actually taken :)

This book makes me salivate. It's full of glossy spreads of incredible train views that makes you itch to book a ticket on every single one RIGHT NOW. The connection with "history" is a delightful conceit, but so far it seems a little tacked-on. I don't care, because I want to lose myself in this glorious train world regardless!

Wow. I'm only in chapter 1 and already I'm itching to go out and get my own microscope. Hairs and feathers and fur, oh my! And I peeked ahead - the next chapter is on blood! The hand-drawn illustrations are fascinating, and the tone is conversational. Great book so far!

This is on hold as I had to return it to the library before I could finish.
