Totalllllly judging Bendis for how naked Gamora is. Gross, dude. Unnecessarily gross. Also, space is cold. She lives with a raccoon who sheds and a tree that's always breaking into splinters. Girl needs pants.

Dante has been name-checked. Batten down the hatches.

"I can't believe you assholes were going to let him wander around here looking like a fucked-up husky because you two were afraid of hurting his delicate feelings--shame on both of you."

Dear Lord, now that Longmire is on Netflix, please let Vic cuss on screen as she does in books. For this and all other Moretti dialog, we are truly grateful. Amen and thank you.

"Well, anytime you're through turtle diddling, we've got work to do."

I MISSED YOU, VICTORIA MORETTI.

IT'S HERE FUCKING FINALLY IT'S HERE

This whole book makes me feel like Whoopi Goldberg from Ghost.

"YOU IN DANGER, GIRL."

So, I just hit the 1/3 mark and...still boring.

Now THIS is a proper ghost story.

This is the dumbest book that was ever dumb. Every plot point is superficial and they all deserve to die of exposure.

What is the first rule of being lost? Sit down and shut up wait for the professionals to find you. These people are morons.

I'm not ready for it to be over!!

Team Gabriel. Where is my shirt? I need a shirt for this.

I wish Cath was writing a fic called "Carry On, Nathan" and that Rainbow Rowell would publish it. I've been fandom incepted.

1. I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. 2. YEAH I KNOW THAT TOO. 3. THERE IS NO SIMON SNOW SWAG ON ETSY. THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST THE ECONOMY. SOMEONE TAKE MY MONEY.

It is so hard to watch when you know EXACTLY how obviously a character is going to get screwed. I can see it happening before my ears and it hurts me.

Rowell does this thing to me where I'm kind of meh and then at exactly 33.3% I morph into the Imperial Captain of HMS I Will Go Down With This Ship and FULL STEAM AHEAD.

If I cringe any harder I'm going to die. I will have cringed to death. WHYYYYYYY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

Danger! Danger! Nick is showing all kinds of douchecanoe warning signs! Do not approach!

*dolphin noises*

This book is giving me feels on so many levels. If I'd had a Reagan, how different would my life have been? Oh, the commemorative busts. And the fandom references. It's so close it burns.

You can't just skip over all the theories about WHY the UK wanted the ship to sink! That's the meaty stuff! Dammit, Larson!

"Shame is the landfill emotion. It's not organic, like joy. It was dumped there by somebody else. A manipulation."

There's nothing like listening to the story of a torpedo striking a passenger liner to put your morning's flat tire in perspective.

The combination of variables it took for all this shit to go so wrong so fast is absolutely mind-boggling. This may be my favorite Larson since Isaac's Storm.

"Real optimism is not the pep talk you give yourself. It is earned through the labor involved in emotional housekeeping."

Excellent history, as usual, from Larson. I particularly enjoy listening to his books so that I can talk back to fatheads from the past.

Normally I'm skeptical of 'read by the author' situations, but in this case it was %1000 the right choice.

I'm so glad I'm listening to this one. I wonder how much influence Rowell has in the recording process, because her audiobooks are AWESOME.
