Frankenstein: The 1818 Text

Mika
Mika is on page 110 of 384 of American Psycho
"Each model of human behavior must be assumed to have some
validity. Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do? My
pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world
for anyone. In fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I
want no one to escape."

"Je kunt nooit uit de schaduw van zulke mensen komen, zelfs niet als ze doodgaan.
Het wordt juist erger als ze doodgaan, ze keren sterker dan ooit in je leven terug. Ze domineren je zelfs in je slaap."

'De wet op het kleinbedrijf' is het enige verhaal dat ik heb gekregen uit deze bundel. De rest komt ooit nog, hopelijk.

Mika is on page 57 of 185 of Paranoia
Heb nu 'Manuscript in een kliniek gevonden' gelezen samen met Paranoia en het voorwoord, dat ook al zo typisch Hermans was dat ik dacht dat het deel uitmaakte van een van de novelles.

Ik kom het nog een keer stelen om de rest te lezen.

Mika is on page 335 of 381 of De tranen der acacia's
"Er zijn zoveel boeken geschreven, dat iemand die zijn best doet, er nooit toe hoeft te komen hetzelfde te lezen, want daar is een mensenleeftijd te kort voor. Geloof mij maar."

"Ik zou u geloven, als je, wanneer je begon te lezen, ook ophield te leven, maar dat is niet zo. Daardoor kun je nooit al je aandacht aan lezen besteden, want dan komt er van je leven helemaal niets meer terecht."

Ouch...

Mika is on page 395 of 476 of Project Hail Mary
“You knew this when you left Earth, question?”
“Yes.”
“You are good human.”

I thought I understood Grace, but the ending of chapter 23 made me realize that I've been crediting him for something he hadn't actually earned yet. One flashback changed how I understood everything that had already happened until then.
