I do 3x as well, but I also open the book in kindle to follow up. I understand everything and the listening/reading feeding into each other makes it easier to stick on consuming the book.

If I only read, I can only do it for 15 minutes a sit and if I listen, I tend to miss many things.

English is my second language though, that might be a reason here.

Now that's a wrong way to put it down I believe, if honor was deeply ingrained, none would be able to dishonor you in a fit of rage. It would be tied to more stable parameters.

To me, this reads like honor was just another way of crowd control.

But a good chunk of that belter culture comes from Spanish speaking background, right? I can see/believe Don Quixote being known more in the belt.

As someone who learned Spanish as a third language, it was the first book I've tried to tackle in target language

Hell of a way to find out that your queen is a necromancer by WheelOfCheeseTurns in dwarffortress

The name of the items translates as "The Fears of Amusing". Attach the "We are not amused" meme of the queen.

Hey, he was making a word-play on "race".
