As it happened, he himself was in the medical-waste disposal game in Indianapolis. That's a nice business to learn about in a Chinese restaurant, with everybody dangling who knows what from chopsticks.
...
He said, "Nobody likes to find a foot or a finger or whatever in a garbage can or a dump, even though it is no more dangerous to public health than the remains of a rib roast.

...in effect, the whole World was for sale to anyone who had Yen or was willing to perform fellatio."

So an appropriate sign to put over the gate to Athena might have been, instead of "Work Makes Free," for example: "Too bad you were born. Nobody has any use for you," or maybe: "Come in and stay in, all you burdens on Society."

I am not writing this book for people below the age of 18, but I see no harm in telling young people to prepare for failure rather than success, since failure is the main thing that is going to happen to them.

Already bothered in the first 2 chapters, Diane cant seem to figure out if she's a Historical Fiction or a Biohraphy, prose definitely needed some work before shipping out...

I need to take a break from this one - I like the story but my attention has been diverted with work and it just keeps staring at me from the pile and making me feel bad that I have no time to read it...

It's been a long couple of weeks at work and there's another stack growing on my end table. Hopefully I can get this one finished this weekend. Unless I get sucked into horror movies. There's always that.

I'm really enjoying this, the style and content almost remind me of Inkheart

I have a feeling Dave Eggers knew someone who worked at Google or read a profile on the company. This book is going to be about an evil Google.

I really thought I would be more interested in this one but I just can't seem to find something to hook me in. Maybe just not the right mood for this one...

I thought it was going to become less and less interesting after Jude's secret was unveiled to the reader but I was wrong. It keeps ramping up while I keep thinking that it's going to lose its momentum.

When I checked this book out from the Library, the Librarian that checked me out said "I've heard a lot about this book. Most of my friends that've read it said it was a hard read but a good one."

I didn't really know how to take that at the time, but I think I'm now starting to understand what they mean.

So.. I didn't know that Anthrax was considered a disease, I just thought it was a chemical compound that wreaked havoc with the body.

I am becoming increasingly sad that I am more than halfway through this book. I think I finally hit the point at which I will be reading more slowly...

This is definitely a slow read, but I think it's going to be one of those books that I read more slowly towards the end not because I'm bored of it, but because I don't want it to end.

Very appreciative of the fact that the author decided to move the story back a decade so the reader can experience the horror leading up to and during the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

I'm actually quite interested in seeing Louise fall on her face one of these chapters.. but I'm also on my period, which means I'm feeling very vindictive towards people in general

Oh mein Gott, it looks like my original assumption was right, it was a student. But it still makes count 3 for me in the Being Right club!

Right on two counts! Hamidou shall have her downfall yet. Now where does Angela fit in this picture? There's no way a non-native German speaker would have slipped in an eszette in a note...

HA FUCKING HA ESZETT. WHO WAS RIGHT? I WAS RIGHT!

Wait, I forgot one important element. EDIT:
Hamidou fucked up and did something to Cressida and Angela (the über-German transfer) tried to cover it up and fucked the note by transposing an eszette for two 'ess's.
