The scale of this story is insane.

Didn't get as far as I had hoped on my flight, but it keeps getting more exciting. I'm definitely not looking forward to finishing now. Pullman isn't pulling any punches.

I feel like I'm taking forever with this book, but I really think I'm just savoring it. This is everything I had hoped for. I'll most likely finish it this week and then be sad for it. I think I can guess where everything is going (including a guess for what will happen in book 6).

I don't think anything has happened since my last progress update even though I finished another quarter of the book. I don't know for sure that there is a plot, or even an idea. I do know about all the different whales that Ishmael knows about. And I learned what the term gam means. I'm not sure I'll get much more out of this book. I'm going to take a break.

Chapter 32 cetology. An interesting though comical scientific account of cetology. I'm not sure I'd ever seen the word until this chapter, if I had it would have been an elementary school and I'm guessing the science would have been a little bit more accurate. However I am American, so there's a chance that 1850s knowledge might have been as good of a lesson as I got in elementary school.

I think I finally see what Pullman is showing us. It's always been interesting that he gives his characters an external/physical soul, and Lyra's skepticism about her daemon and even ally the events in the original trilogy in this book has been weird and super awkward.

The story of the fire man and his water daemon was great but much too brief. It was like the wizard of Oz. Will we see Agrippa again? Also, Lyra asked him about dust. I can't remember if she ever saw Mary Malone's computer. I should probably read Amber Spyglass again.

"he knew how frail is the memory of loved ones. How close our eyes and speak to them. How we long to hear their voices once again. And how those voices and memories grow faint and faint until what was flesh and blood is no more than echo and shadow"
I think a simple description of what it feels like to read McCarthy would be something like this. It would be similar to picking up a single volume of an encyclopedia and

It's getting profound, and I don't like where it's going.

Pan and Lyra just got into it finally. A much more emotional fight than I was expecting.

Approx %. The warren of the crop of rabbits was depressing Cpt. Holly just told his and Bluebell's story. His final line was powerful, "it wasn't I who tried to arrest you Bigwig -- that was another rabbit, long, long ago"

Chapter 9
We are being told conflicting histories from the Contos and the church history. The cool thing that Simmons is doing for us is showing us how history diverged, yet we witnessed history by reading the first two books.
