Beautiful writing.

These are great essays. Truly beautiful and thought provoking.

Just wanted to read one more Gene book to reconsile the minor differences between the series and the other book I read.

Eh... I'm not sure I'm going to finish this one. It started out sounding interesting, but at 20% it's turning into a trashy/gossipy kind of teenage book.

Just started it, but it seems good.

This chapter is really fucking good.

This is a great follow-up to On God.

Ok. I'm taking this one home with me.

Super interesting conversation. I can't wait to hear the rest of it.

I'm listening to the audiobook, and it is an utterly fascinating conversation. Intellectual mana.

This is such a visceral book.

This really is a great book - I particularly like his writing style and word choice in this one. I keep cracking up at "dame" and "dollface" but my favorite is speaking "American" and "Foreign". I love this kind of humor. That being said, I was so blown away by Hell of a Book, that now I just keep comparing - and that one was just so good.

The end of part 1 - the orchestra and her description of it through Martin's eyes - that it was played before and across time - it was all very beautiful. I'm liking the way she describes the world through Martin's eyes.

It's so endearing how the one character refers to everything as being said in "American" or in "Foreign". I'm almost finished with the book and it is still making me giggle every time.
