Holy damn, a Clone High reference!! Ha!!

This is such an amazing book, but I definitely have to be in a certain frame of mind to read and appreciate it. Taking much longer than anticipated.

Ugh, this book is such tough going compared to the previous three. The plot just feels like it's gotten old (attack, minor plot movement, screw the guys, repeat). After 3.5 books of this, it's getting old and I need something else to propel me further in the story.

Ok, see, this is why I can't with kindle unlimited recommends 🤣 wtf is a "pointed point"?!

Just finished the section on the first victim, Polly, and wow... Really enjoying this so far. Forcing me to reconsider how I've thought about the framing of this story and how it's told. Not a pretty thing to confront.

Not as gorey as it's been hyped up to be, so I'm a bit disappointed. Still have a lot of book left though. One other issue I'm having is understanding the spatial interactions that are happening. For instance, when Tom is talking to "the man" at first I couldn't figure out where they were in relation to the cabin and the boys.

Otherwise enjoying it although the pacing is a bit off. I can see why people love it!

Wow, way to hit me in the feels right at the beginning Georgia!

Listening to the audio book to refresh myself before watching the show. It's been well over a decade since my last read-through.

Why do we not study this more in school?? Ugh...

"The Russians are one of those nations which seem to exist only to give humanity terrible lessons."

"Trend analyses from 1985 to 2010 show a wetland loss rate of 16.57 mi2 per year. If this loss were to occur at a constant rate, it would equate to Louisiana losing an area the size of one football field per hour."

"Since channelization of the Mississippi River in the wake of the 1927 flood... coastal Louisiana has lost to erosion, subsidence, and rising sea levels a landmass roughly twice the size of the state of Connecticut."

"George Washington is revered throughout the world as our best president. But here in the United States, we give that honor to Lincoln. This disparity says something about ourselves as a nation and what we look for in our leaders."

Seriously, I'm in the middle of a long explanation of purgartory... While I understand why the author is talking about it, this could all be summed up so we can actually get to the point of the book. Blugh...

Wait... What??

"Some practitioners of horror may have specifically religious motives behind their stories, like... the Mormon Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series."

Switching over to this since "Haunted" is trying it's hardest to make me fall asleep at my desk.

This is beyond boring to me... Might have to consider DNF'ing it. I keep trying to fall asleep when I pick it up.

Oh wow... I was not expecting a philosophical treatise on religion when I requested this book... Seriously, it's putting me to sleep...

This is a fascinating story. Kind of making me think about the tech differences that made this possible back in the day as opposed to now.

Mah boy! Seriously though, the more I learn about him, the more badass he becomes.

"The ecumenical nature of the presidential oath is reflected also in the option of "swear (or affirm)." Some Christian sects, notably the Quakers, did not believe in the use of the word "swearing", so the Constitution made sure they were not excluded. (Only Franklin Pierce, in 1853, chose to affirm his presidential oath."

"Alcohol from wood was not a spirit, but methanol. As in gas. Fuel. And so on. And under no circumstances should it be consumed."
