When you get to the part with the "Dolphin," it picks up a lot

I will do my best to get there...but it will take some time

and fuck Tom Sawyer. That little prick is fucking evil.
 
Started A Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark last night. I have heard good things about it and it is currently just a standalone book, so why not? Got it for cheap on my Kindle. So far it's a fun steampunk-ish book taking place in Egypt where genies exist and live among mankind.
 
Just started The Boys in the Boat. God damn, some of those guys had a rough and depressing life prior to their rowing days.

Kept seeing the movie pop up, so i figured I'd give it a read first. But yeah they mentioned how basically if they made the freshmen team then they were guaranteed a part time job on campus to hopefully pay the tuition. Didn't even get a scholarship, just the chance to work for it. Different times.

The depressing part was one of the guys basically living on his own at age 10 because his step mom didn't want him in the house, and dad just went along with it.
