I hate pregnancy being used a plot device

Reached ch39

"I was one of those guys who got
a little restless if too much time passed between deployments, if I didn’t get to do what I’d been born to
do."
You mean killing innocents, bombing hospitals and demolishing schools so that rich pedophiles disconnected politicians can boost about it later?

It feels a little ironic to start this kinda of story during this shaky time but im willing to devour anything if it means avoiding translation theories for a few more seconds

من زمان ما ردحتش لأخوتي بخصوص الحبكة الغبية لرواية قد اليوم، فشكرا

يعني انا مفترض اقتنع بفكرة انو حاتم/حازم عندو القدرة انو يأثر بمشاعر الناس، يغير افكارهم، ويزرع ذكريات مزيفة عندهم ومع ذلك عانى عدة سنوات حتى يخلي دار نشر وحدة تقبل تنشر قصة وحدة من قصصو؟

اتسائل ليه في اغلب الاحيان قصص الرعب العربية خاصة اللي بتتعلق بالجن بتدور احداثها في بلاد اجنبية؟ هل له علاقة بفكرة ان الانسان العربي اينما ذهب الكوابيس المرتبطة بثقافته لاحقتو؟

Not bad i would say

"The science fiction world where men speak to robots and they answer back is unlikely to materialize for quite some time"
58 years later and we made it happen my guy. it's always interesting to see how linguists viewed the idea of machine translation and its possibility in the early days

oh thank god its over

i honestly do not find a single character in this book to be likeable

I don't like Travis, like I truly dont see myself coming around to liking him unless i see him suffer and grovel, at this post he's just a miserable controlling asswho belittles her all the time and excuse me if i don't find that romantic

What a sad world it would be if we didnt have cats

I have to admit that I have spectacularly failed no 29

God, I really miss my cats. I really hope nothing bad happens to the kitty, i don't think i can handle the loss of another pet at the moment even if it's a fictional one.

“Seventy percent of success is planning,” the baker said. “Twenty-five is execution. And”—he chuckled—“the last five percent is alignment of the stars.”
well, that is certainly foreshadowing

oh, god?????

Political language -- and
with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is
designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance
of solidity to pure wind.

The great enemy
of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared
aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a
cuttlefish spurting out ink.

A speaker who uses that kind of phraseology [monotonous political speeches] has gone
some distance toward turning himself into a machine. The appropriate noises are coming out of his larynx, but his brain is not involved, as it would be if he were choosing his
words for himself.

What kind of ending is that?????????????

"As galling as Andrew’s
being somehow réad and then classified by that fucking loser as an other, a thing, was that Andrew,
at least for one night, was then marked as a victim."
I don't think i like the way this sentence is written

I love them all so much though I still think that out of all the Walker Sisters, Annie won the most ♡
