Back to god’s country after DNF’ing my last book.

I’m so bored. Nothing is happening. I’m not connecting with the characters or their motivations. I might not finish this book.

Omg can we just get to the point please.

Such thoughtful research. Very harrowing.

Wanted to include highlight Foer’s quote here:

“I love sushi, I love fried chicken, I love a good steak. But there is a limit to my love. Since I encountered the realities of factory farming, refusing to eat conventional meat has not been a hard decision. And it’s become hard to imagine who, besides those who profit from it, would defend factory farming.”

So eye opening and I’m not even halfway through.

“I came to learn that food serves two parallel purposes: it nourishes and it helps you remember.”

“…and I am not a doctor or a shaman, but I can say, just as a citizen and an ally, that nothing bad will happen to your penis if you stop being a misogynist.”

I tried to write down how I felt. I recently found the note I wrote to myself, and all it said was "I'm too overwhelmed to say any more and too scared to say anymore and I feel too foolish, but I must not forget this, so I'm writing this down and this is the best that I can do."

- To Noway

“It is time,” he says. “We go save home worlds now.”
“Yeah.”
“You face is leaking.”
I wipe my eyes. “Human thing. Don’t worry about it.”

😩😩😩😩

What will happen to Rocky, question? I am endeared by him. Amaze amaze amaze!

"We're part of the ecology, Ms. Stratt. We're not outside it. The plants we eat, the animals we ranch, the air we breathe—it's all part of the tapestry. It's all connected.”

WHERE IS THE LIE!

I’m invested now. It only took like 200+ pages!

Guys I’m going to be so honest, I don’t know if I like this much science in my sci-fi. Feels way more sci than fi.

Turns out I can’t read 300+ pages in less than 2 days.

That being said, I left off on chapter 8.

This is due back in the library in 2 days and I'm only 25% of the way through !!!!!

What if I wore the Sorting Hat on a day I had intrusive thoughts? Asking for a friend.

Time to lock tf in.

The banter is better than I remember!!

Re-reading to prepare for the movie adaptation. I cannot wait to make this my entire personality.

“Charlie has been gone for two days, and I miss him like a rib.”

Respectfully, she met this man less than a month ago. What is she on about right now.

…”he sailed through the world, guided only by the dim lights of impulse and habit confident that his course which throw up no obstacle so large that they could not be plowed over with the sheer force of momentum.”

INCREDIBLE character description.

“Bunny, for all his appearance of amiable callous stability was actually a widely erratic character. There were any number of reasons for this, but primary among them was his complete inability to think about anything before he did it.”

“I feel so incidental to your life, but you’re so central to mine. It doesn’t feel good. I can’t do it forever.”

Sad :(
