Too much going on. Too many cross-over and tie-in stories that I didn't follow.

I went through and read all the comics and thought they were cute, but I couldn't connect with any of the essays. They read like personal diary or travel journal entries, and just weren't that interesting.
I think I would have found the essays much more interesting if I was in my 20s. I think I would have found them worldly and inspirational if I was in college or in my teens.

it was okay.
My primary interest in this work is how universally translated it is. I'm almost to the level in my Spanish studies where I can tackle it.
I have it in toki pona but never finished it due to the unique difficulties of drawing any kind of objective, concrete meaning from any toki pona text. And I never actually read the English version until now.
So there's that. I look forward to reading this sorta okay story in Spanish later.
hauntingly beautiful
This book was beautiful.
wtf that ending. I feel like I have to read the next book now!
re-read.
So! Good!
Volume 8 is coming out, and I don't think I've read past v4, so I'm stoked to continue one of my favorite stories. I love the writing and I adore the art. I'm just friggin pumped.

Nostalgic re-read. I remember reading this as it was being created, waiting for new updates to show up in my RSS reader.
Why I picked it up
First of all, this was hard to pick up! First of all, it's kind of hard to google "What was the name of that 'great' webcomic about ramen?" Secondly, the website is down. Luckily, all the material was preserved by archive.org's Wayback Machine, so I was able to download it and make a CBZ to read on my iPad.
I thought about it initially because I just finished Good to Great, and thinking about greatness in general, I remembered Mr. Phipps and how much I enjoyed this story. It was shorter overall than I remembered, but it was still really good.
What I want to remember

What I want to remember
It was alright. I like how there's a summary and notes at the end of each chapter for quick reference.
I actually used the flywheel metaphor in a yoga class the other day to talk about accumulated momentum through sustained effort, how no one push on the wheel got it to spinning as fast as it is now, and how messing up on one push isn't a failure, etc.
