Er ferdig med Arvid sin del no. Han fekk verkeleg ei religiøs oppvakning etter han så David annonse i avisa. 😛

"[...] det er i dei stille glørne det er varmast, David, ikkje i dei ville flammane, og slik er det med lykka også, ho er år finne ut kvardagen."

Treffande må eg verkeleg seie. Eg blei ferdig med Jons del og har starta på Arvids. Det er interessant å vite litt om han frå Jon sitt perspektiv. Dette er litt motsetning til å komme blindt inn i handlinga som me gjorde med Jon. Blir interessant å lese vidare tenkjer eg.

Fy flate, så godt skriven! Eg digger korleis han skildrar karakterane. Jon er fantastisk halvgal. Tiller har meistra indirekte skildringar. Forhaldene mellom karakterane er berre så utruleg smakfullt gjort. Stakkars Wenche :/

Damn, dette siste kapitlet treff meg som ein våt sekk med murstein... Han er veldig flink til å skildre karakterar.

Begynte å lese denne boka for sidemålseksamen, men ho er eigentleg ganske godt skriven. (Eg beklagar for den dårlege nynorsken min, eg prøver som sagt å øve) Så langt i boka, har me enno ikkje sett verden gjennom hovudpersonen sitt/David sitt perspektiv. David har mista minnet og me får heller eit lappeteppe av David sin identitet gjennom tre andre personar som forsøker å få han til å hugse kven han er.

Hum hum, mer debunking av gamle menn fra 1800-1900-tallet. Fabelaktig :)

I sense mutiny 🤔🤔

"Overexcited? No! I'm getting very calmly worried that someone might shoot me!"

RIP wannabe apocalyptic horsemen :(

Adam's getting increasingly entrenched in conspiracy. The set pieces are all moving towards Lower Tadfield. We also got introdused to another character with a sick ass name (Newton Pulsifur)

"They both got out of the car. Thirty seconds later someone shot both of them. With incredible accuracy."

Way to end a chapter lol

Kids can be cruel
Poor Aziraphale :(

Serena is ridiculously overpowered 🫢

Things are heating up! Almost time for the confrontation it seems like. :3

Marx has now done some myth debunking about communism, and provided a more elaborate description of what communism really is.

It's interesting how he argues that since property is inherently social, it wouldn't be that farfetched to tweak the norms around property, so that no one person owns property, and only gets provided for equally by a collective maintained by a strong national government.

I guess the series is called "Villains" for a reason

Victor is one mean sun of a gun 😨😖

Woho, Vic is kinda effed up. Speaking of effed up, he just consumed a whole bunch of drugs and alcohol and is currently (in the past) dying on a sofa.

Lots of repetition and pathos so far. Probably because of him writing for the proletariat which are more susceptible to those kinds of argumentation. He generally has spicy language, bedazzled with a few examples here and there.

Some banger lines in this, but it's quite the heavy book to read, especially since it's for school. Better than reading a text book. :3

Really cool start! Loved the interplay of the story jumping between 10 years ago and current times. So far, interesting characters too. I'm excited to find out more about these EOs :)

Just finished the first book in this compendium. I have to say, I find myself intrigued by the constant coincidences guiding the story. Though the ending didn't quite feel "finished" I think I have to view this series as a collection of short stories in the same universe. The books are just slightly bigger appendixes than the short stories. I'm probably going to come back to this compendium after I've had a break.

"Excuse me, what's your name again, by the way?"
"My name?" said the old man, and the same distant sadness came over his face again. He paused.
"My name," he said, "is Slartibartfast"
Arthur practically choked.
"I beg your pardon?" he spluttered.
"Slartibartfast," repeated the old man quietly.
"Slartibartfast?"
The old man looked at him gravely.
"I said it wasn't important."
The aircar sailed through the night.

"Ford!" he said, "there is an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script of Hamlet they've worked out."

"This is Prosthetic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council," the voice continued. "As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial Express route through your system, and regrettably your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you"
