“It's far less important to me to be liked these days than to be understood”
Chatter, timestamps and links below the fold ↓

This is an entirely spoiler-free discussion. When I finished it I was so keen to talk about what happens in the final pages but I don't think it adds much or changes much about my takeaways from the novel.

p.s. I haven't figured out the AE-lock on my new camera yet, I apologise for the jumpy exposure.
