i have a feeling linnet will be the death on the nile

i’m technically done with this book (aside from the acknowledgements)

i’d like to listen to the complete playlist all the way through before i make my final review.

the way kane writes is so personable, i truly just want to keep reading. the wit is unmatched

i’m on verse 1 kings 22:1

god is like, you know what, i won’t do it to him but i will fuck up his sons life 🤷‍♀️

i really enjoy the way this author writes

“i may be an only child, but…good work, big brother!!”

screaming, crying and throwing up

the caricature of the US military is honestly so spot on and funny

“quit yer whinin’ and fight me…you creepy otaku.”

“so please. after all, you’re my executioner. let fate toy with you…before you die like a fool.”

“for now, you can call him my big brother”

!!!!!!! i had the same reaction as choso

1.) it’s getting increasingly more difficult to remember what all these acronyms stand for
2.) there’s a typo on page 324, “united stated” instead of “united states”.

“solidarity: it had and will always be america’s bright hope for working people.”

(for everyone, really. but this book is specifically about labor lol)

“once again, the us government was called on. it quickly came to the aid of j.p. morgan and the other mill owners by sending in the us army with its infantry and cavalry. sharpshooting soldiers were positioned on the roofs of the mills with orders to shoot to kill if the strikers tried to break in. […] during that same incident, hundreds of other strikers were wounded by tear gas and bayonets.”

1910s or 2020s?

same shit, different year amirite

i really enjoy this writers voice

we finally don’t have read the word “voluptuous” anymore

ahhh, my favorite mina entry is coming!

“hedgehog, i mean quohog” is unironically the funniest line so far. (his name is queequeeg)

“the czarina catherine isn’t here yet, but there’s a ton of fog.” wonder what that could mean jack 🤔

the love between jonathan and mina gets me every single time

i’m 3 days behind, but i’m just psyching myself up to read the october 3rd entries

i love dr seward’s descriptions. i just picture him talking into his phonograph being all descriptive
