I too drip hot wax on my arms if I doze off during studying, doesn’t everyone do that?

Yikes is this my future, I’m getting anxious just reading this. And I’m sure this narrative is the censored version for mass consumption

This is worse than Lord of the Rings in how long it takes the characters to get together

The state of healthcare is a systems level failure

Joshua is on page 214 of 341 of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures
I've been reading this book for longer than I care to admit, also need to finish this one. Unlike the other healthcare-humanity intersectional book I'm reading, this one is very much an extended narrative interspersed with background info so reading it in a shorter period would have been in my better interest. I literally took it on two camping trips a year apart and made 0 pages progress between those incidents.

I started this audiobook in March, each chapter is somewhat self-contained though so I think my slow approach isn't massively detrimental. Healthcare in the US is crazy

This book is a behemoth but I love the ideas and Liu's writing style. Keeping all the surnames straight in the audiobook is a bit of a challenge though, maybe I need to scribble a dramatis personae down. On that note, I feel like there should be a website where you can search up a book/movie character and your current chapter/episode and it tells you what they've been up to, with no spoilers, as wikis might do.
