I really like the important bit unemphasized fact that it’s hard to judge how smart someone/something is when you have little language in common. It’s interesting in the plot here, but it’s just such an overlooked fact in the world that I love to see it used.

No shade to this book, but I saw what was about to happen; paused the book; and had to take two P.G. Wodehouse novels before I could finish the scene. 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Advanced peoples” Dear god, man, you wrote this in 2003. Really not on.

Forgot to say at 23% when I meant to that Carmilla is a clever creature.

I started this months ago but with too few days on the library loan, and thus have been waiting for my SECOND hold to come up. Which is unpleasant because I was really digging it! But I guess never mentioned here that I was reading it?!

Can’t remember what finally spurred me to put this on my holds list from my vague mental “someday” list, but finally going to read it! (Maybe someone mentioned it in a Letterboxd review of Train Dreams?)

“Chapter 3: Dr. Seward’s Diary”. You 100% had me there, ma’am, I do admit!
