Reading phm as someone whos seen spoilers thru tumblr: I just got to chapter 5 so no spoilers beyond that please
- I did not expect the book to be as comical as it is so far, the fact that one of the first scenes is Ryland being so fucking disgruntled over the catheter in him is awesome
- the fact that he doesnt swear is really cute too. im listening thru audio and the narrators voice is kinda gruff so the juxtaposition is very nice
- HE CARES ABOUT HIS KIDS 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 HE CARES ABOUT HIS KIDDY STUDENTS SO MUCH 🥺🥺 the fact that caring about their future is what drove him to beg strat into letting him continue testing the astrophage makes me so emo
- ALSO I DIDNT KNOW HE WAS THE ONE THAT NAMES ASTROPHAGE. HE WAS SO IMPORTANT TO THE DISCOVERY OF IT. HE GOT TO NAME IT!!!!!
- i keep seeing the book keep calling back to rocks and their various ways of forming and im just like I wonder whos that for. I wonder why they keep calling back to that 😏
- hes so smart but so silly style . Eva is also very smart but silly in a different way . I sure hope nothing bad happens
- his crew :( the funeral scene made me so sad.
- I dont know how amnesia recovery works and I doubt thos is how it occurs irl but I dont mind rhe way ryland goes about recovering his memory. I find it very satisfying and I appreciate how the book doesnt waffle about in keeping things from you. Like i still dont know shit but I dont feel like im having information teased at me with no payoff
- I hope the spider shows up soon
