I just finished reading chapter 36 and loved every word. Not taxing rational complexities but still incisive. My favourite part was "The dining room table was much longer than six people - er, four people and two children". Offhand and innocent sounding but still utterly brutal commentary!
Ok, that was a blatant lie. My favourite part was Harry and Hermione being such an utterly adorable couple. Aside from the signs of unacknowledged romance they were both acting so much more human than they ever had before.
But now I must drag myself away and save the remaining (FOUR!) chapters until I finish a maths assignment. A suitable reward to look forward to. Actually the last of those chapters was added after I loaded up chapter 36 - it seems Eliezer has been busy!
And 37 was basically... nothing. At least nothing that wasn't a slightly wordier version of the paragraph that it expanded upon. Ok. It says 'interlude'. Fair enough.
ETA: There is now a third thread, so send new comments there.
Since the first thread has exceeded 500 comments, it seems time for a new one, with Eliezer's just-posted Chapter 33 & 34 to kick things off.
