The Humans by Matt Haig

BATB score: 3/10 🫥

Best as: okay. I am done with Matt Haig fiction.

Best to: good storyline about a alien on a mission on earth; earth’s stranger’s point of view of humans; yet, very wordy and slow narration

Best for: the chapter “Advice for a Human” concluding 97 advices for humans was sweet

Best quotes: “Make sure, as often as possible, you are doing something you’d be happy to die doing.”

“Dark matter is needed to hold galaxies together. Your mind is a galaxy. More dark than light. But the light makes it worthwhile. Which is to say: don’t kill yourself. Even when the darkness is total. Always know that life is not still. Time is space. You are moving through that galaxy. Wait for the stars.”

“You can’t find happiness looking for the meaning of life. Meaning is only the third most important thing. It comes after loving and being.”

“Your life will have 25,000 days in it. Make sure you remember some of them.”

“Alcohol in the evening is very enjoyable. Hangovers in the morning are very unpleasant. At some point you have to choose: evenings or mornings.”
