Status Updates From Transmission

One of my absolute fav authors — excited to find another self read audiobook which elevates Hari to perhaps my fav reading experience when combined with reading along in order to apply appropriate marginalia.. Not expecting Red Pill or Blue Ruin level but still..

Maybe I also need a few lines of coke

It's joeverrrrr, Arjun to jail soon #rip

“You are clinically ill. You cannot do this to people.” sento che userò questa espressione in occasioni future, ha molto potenziale.

Arjun un po' pazzo in culo per creare e diffondere un virus solo perché stato licenziato. Not my twin anymore

Hit the 100 pages milestone #yay they broke Arjun so bad they got him touching grass Xc

Wdym Chris is straight omg 💔

Arjun, you seem kind of a loser, I like you. Also thank you for making me discover Kajol <3

The plot has yet to really pick up so I hate to give assumptions or reviews before hand but I’m starting to get just a little bored. Though, he did just arrive in America so I think it’ll pick up soon.
I also want to bring up the nickname of “bro” and “sis”. I thought it was satire, but now I’m wondering if I’m missing a cultural element. maybe it’s normal for siblings in India to refer to one another this way.

So far, we’re being saturated in detail. Which I don’t think is a bad thing. There has to be this balance between action and detail. Too much detail can sometimes make high-stake action moments confusing and not enough detail in mundane action can make the story boring. I’m excited to see how it will play out.

k can already tell the characters in this book hate women, and i don’t think it’s gonna be a clever commentary on misogyny 💔

In poco meno di tre ore ho letto tutto d’un fiato più della metà del libro, questo non perché non veda l’ora di scoprire il finale quanto più per essermi pentita amaramente di aver cominciato a leggerlo. Per ora tutto fumo e niente arrosto, troppo noioso per i miei gusti, complice anche la trama che ruota attorno ad un virus informatico, argomento personalmente poco appetibile. Mi ricrederò?

yawn

This is kinda lit...

- University Read -

This has been a great year for literature so far. With the exception of 3 or 4, I’ve loved all of the books I’ve read so far. I enjoyed Gods Without Men and had a great time with White Tears (especially since I read it right after I saw Get Out), so I’m excited to see what thing brings.

This book doesn't have wonderful reviews, but so far I'm really enjoying it!

From India, Arjun moves to the States in hopes of playing out his dreams only to find that this world is tough. He's left, scrambling for jobs and money.

I sooo wanted to finish this tonight - somehow managed to fall asleep reading this. Can't wait until morning to finish this, but for now - SLEEP.

My God, that last chapter was painful. :'(

(ftr that was a tentatively intrigued "hm" rather than my usual worried "hm")

hm

Some scenes and characters (!) I detest passionately, but apart from that this is actually interesting.

I can't get into it. I'm putting it down for now.

Save yourself Arjun M.

Loving this. Just SO very well written.

And this.. "If the soccer moms zipping by in their SUVs registered him at all, it was as a blur of dark skin, a minor danger signal flashing past on their periphery. To the walking man, the soccer moms were more cosmological than human, gleaming projectiles that dopplered past him in a rush of noise and dioxins, as alien and indifferent as stars." Beautiful writing, huh?

"Anyone on foot in suburban California is one of four things: poor, foreign, mentally ill or jogging."

Gorgeous writing. This could be amazing..

drugs are bad for you, kids.
