Dear Comrade finished.

It took me a lot of effort to get back into this book after the happy years. It makes you feel so viscerally for these characters.

My heart aches.

The happy years finished.

I had to re-play the last part 3 times to believe it.

The axiom of equality finished.

They warned everyone how sad it would make you but not how angry it made me. Holy shit.

I haven't devoured this quickly a book this long in years, or had this much emotion invested in a long time.

Somehow I want it to end but also don't want it to end.

Vanities finished.

I hate that I just can't hate JB.
I hate the ways I can relate to JB.

Ouch.

The Postman finished.

If people seem to say up until now it's slow or boring, I'm scared of what's coming but I can't put it down.
