fuck danny coughing dream was a good story

This lady is a big nerd, I like that. Let’s see how obsessed she becomes …

Embarrassingly fulfilling the male stereotype of enjoying reading about the roman empire.

Stopped mid chapter when he introduced Brexit.

I knew the british empire was bad and that reading this book I was gonna find out worse details. Sadly that was true but not unsurprising.

Helps put a new historical lens on modern social problems too. Very interesting.

Not enjoying really but wanna finish it.

It’s interesting in a way but too old fashioned.

Half of it i’m barley grasping and the half i do grasp is very interesting, DARE i say brilliant.

To have a double life and lie to friends faces for 30 years is incredible.

“Addicted to espionage and alcohol” went hard.

Philby is a weird man to read about, it’s undeniably awesome to see him manipulate Mi6 (even to become head of a new section to counter soviet spies, while being a soviet double agent) but it’s so sad he betrayed his friends.

And then it’s darkly fascinating to read about how the intelligence he steals for the soviets leads to innocent people’s death.

It’s got me hooked now, oooo I do love spies.

This comic has no page numbers so i’m sort of like 20 pages in I guess.

Comics are so easy to read, nerds are fucking dumb.

But the story is already awesome.
