Chapter One (1) completed. It took about 10 hours of reading, re-reading, translating, and deciphering. This amount of concrete labor has got to be worth at least two coats.

Ch. 2: Exchange
A very short, light chapter compared to Ch. 1: about a quarter of the length. Marx quoting Revelation was hilarious. The audiobook guy kept replacing "himself, mankind" with gender neutral terms, which I appreciate, although by the end he was really stretching it and I kept cracking up
Streets are saying Ch. 3 is twice the length of Ch. 1... Luckily, it's supposed to get a lot simpler afterwards ;)
