Chesterton really speaks a lot of old tosh in this, doesn’t he?

Can I just say. It’s sooo cool that philosophy is literally guys being like ‘I thought about this thing’ and then other guys being like ‘hmm I thought about it more and your thing is false.’ Literally the only academic field you can do that in. I wish I could have written my thesis like that. Source: thought about it really hard

Being a woman in the old days sucked dude. Laura keeps asking everyone ‘what’s going on? What’s wrong with me??’ And everyone keeps telling her ‘don’t worry about it’

This is taking me a very long time to read because every few pages Mantel will write the most breathtakingly beautiful passage you’ve ever read in your life and it’s about like. Plums.

Emily is 86% done with A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1)
I’m re-reading this and struck by so much about how genuinely well-written this is - not just for fantasy, but full stop. It slightly ruins a most other modern fantasy in comparison. The tenderness he conveys Catelyn thinks about having to wait for all the men in her life is genuinely amazing.

I am struggling to get through the Palatial chapters! I am sure it’ll become relevant in the end, but if I wanted to read about a princess and an evil count I’d just read high fantasy. As it is I’m also re-reading GoT which is tbh better than this, so those chapters invite unfavourable comparisons.

I’m so glad I read very little of the synopsis before starting this book because I love it when something turns out to be a (spoiler spoiler spoiler) story

Why does our 1830s 11-year-old protagonist have the same perspective and opinions as a 21st century Twitter user

Oooouuhhhh so far this book is mostly academic monks arguing about a mathematics-based theology and I could read it for a thousand more pages

I want to make a status update but I think there is a word limit that isn't mentioned at all in the app? Why is the goodreads app so bad.

Emily is reading The Stand
I'm about 45% through it and now that all the dying and apocalyptic illnesses have ended I am super less interested in this nebulous good vs evil malarkey. More death and destruction I say!
