Status Updates From Voces de Chernóbil: Crónica...

The difference between people who saw what radiation did first hand verses those who dealt with the concept is interesting. It's the difference between loosing your loved ones in horrific ways versus loosing your home and everything you've ever known because there's some thing in the air. One is right in front of you and the other feels inadequate. I wonder how it's affected those who stayed in the long run.

Finally a lighter chapter! Which means I can read more without feeling so heavy after. If this wasn't due in 12 days I could take my time. But I unfortunately have a deadline.

Wow ... Wow wow wow wow. I'm learning so much and it's all bad. First the slow death of radiation poisoning now uterine prolapse....I don't know what happened to me but this is the stuff I enjoy reading so. We are in for a wild ride.

That prologue was heavy and graphic. I think I need to read this book slowly so I don't overwhelm myself. But that poor woman.

I've only read the translators note and historical note but I am locked in! I think In Memoriam changed me because I really want to read about historical events now. Although realizing this happened in 1986 was an unpleasant surprise. I'm very intrigued and ready to learn about what happened.
