I can't figure out whether or not this is sarcastic.

It's not that I disliked Finnegan's Wake, I just didn't have the follow through on this one. If you could tell from my post I'm actually still reading it.

I gave up after reading the first sentence. Maybe after the second.

Spoiler for Ending:
The last 30-40 or so pages where he describes the final hours during the destruction of Earth from a few different perspectives, including those of a handful of "survivors" viewing it from space was some of the heaviest **** I've ever read. Tears for sure.

Read the 144th issue of The Walking Dead. It was insane.

144!!! Which characters are still alive from the first issue?

Reading Anvil of Stars also by Greg Bear which is the sequel to The Forge of God.
