Would I be a calmer person if I was willing to dnf a book? Undoubtedly. But then I wouldn't get to deconstruct exactly what I don't like about the book for my own learning process, and I would lose out on some prime kvetching, so I think it levels out.

#I'm like 70 percent of the way into this book and I am GOING TO FUCKING FINISH IT DAMMIT #it's increasingly annoying me cuz it will sorta go in a direction that seems like it might fix some of my problems with it but then it fails #and I think it's fundamentally cuz like. why are you expecting me to remember what the fucking heart indexes you're referencing are #while also explaining photons and carbon to me like I'm five #tbh the personified science concept chapters are the MOST annoying to me #cuz there has been one human narrator in this book that actually felt like they had a voice #and that person fucking DIED first of all (for no reason which would've been WHATEVER IF HE HADN'T ALSO BEEN THE STRONGEST NARRATOR)#and then these personified science chapters have at least some distinction in terms of voice #but the more there are the more annoyed I get about how LITTLE voice anyone else has #like why do Mary and Frank's chapters read the same as Janus Athena's meeting minutes. what the fuck bro.#anyway I'm an aggressive completionist and i am not giving up but I'm mad about it #megs is reading
