:( I know I asked for the characters to die…but please

Goodreads probably thought the books that have been on my “currently reading” page for over a year were MADE for their “DNF” shelf. No, not me. (This book is really long though and the last 50 pages about military strategy have slowed my progress, I’m ready for all the 500+ characters to start dying one by one)

“But what is war?…The aim of war is murder; the methods of war are spying, treachery, and their encouragement, the ruin of a country’s inhabitants…and fraud and falsehood termed military craft. The habits of the military class are [in] the absence of freedom…. And in spite of all this it is the highest class, respected by everyone...he who kills most people receives the highest rewards.”

I need to stop being surprised when "the greats" are actually great

I will finish this before dental school. I swear it
