I am not sure how much of this I can take.

Every time I read Tana French books I love them and they take me so much longer than any other author

OMG, I missed Connie Willis

I’ll finish this someday. The pandemic has made it so I don’t drive anywhere anymore

I am really surprised at how much I am enjoying this book. It is combining one of my favorite eras of romance novels with “modern” sensibilities of how people are. Also hot sex scenes.

3/4 of the way through this book and I love it. The physics are perfect for someone that hasn’t really studied it since college twenty years ago, so don’t let that scare you. It is a wonderful book to read. I can’t wait to get back into this world.

“I took her in my arms and mashed my mouth up against hers.… “Bite me! Bite me!” I bit her. I sunk my teeth into her lips so deep I could feel the blood spurt into my mouth. It was running down her neck when I carried her upstairs.”

Not what I expect from this book, or possible, I think.

I just can't get into this book.

I get this pretty often:

“To the depersonalized individual the world appears strange, peculiar, foreign, dream-like. Objects appear at times strangely diminished in size, at times flat. Sounds appear to come from a distance. . . . The emotions likewise undergo marked alteration. Patients complain that they are capable of experiencing neither pain nor pleasure. . . . They have become strangers to themselves”
