The war in this part of the book… absolutely hilarious

“Oh this German preciseness”

“You can’t chop down (trees?) without woodchips flying” in response to peasants burning and chopping down corn

It’s starting to get interesting?!?

“A good chess player who has lost a game is genuinely convinced that his failure is due to his blunders”

A ton of religion and now they are hunting wolves? I’m not a fan (I know that things used to be different but I still am not a fan)

15:50:19 the section right before this said the dad couldn’t look at her daughter in the eye because she was too beautiful while she was sad. It really feels like he is in love with his daughter?!? Gross?!? Weird?!? I don’t want to read this book anymore???

This book is good but OH MY GOD?!?! I have been listening for almost 3 hours and am only 4% through?!?

I just lost all appreciation for this book. It seemed like it was trying to say that it’s okay to hit your child if you are upset.

This book just sounds like a longer version of his short story in his new book and I’m not sure I like it so much honestly

“I used to think it was vital to know things, to feel safe in the learning and recounting of facts. I used to think it was possible to know enough to escape from the panic of not knowing, but I realize now that you can never learn enough to protect yourself, not really.”
