Ch 2 the running man is named Sébastien. He makes his way to his house and some unnamed man takes care of him.  Assuming this is some sort of nobleman as there's also mention that there's servants and this man isn't mentioned in that.

Ch 3 appearantly the name of the other guy is Daniel.  He called a doctor.  The doctor has seen a few memory loss cases in his time.  Mostly in the war.  Memory usually comes back Ina few days whether you like it or not.  Sébastien f8nds an invitation to Evelyn's party addressed to Dr Sébastien.   He doesnt feel like a Sébastien or a doctor.  Also, h3 sees a painting of monster.  Oh wait that's a mirror.  He's ugly and is disappointed. 

Ch 4 There's lots of people at this house.  This is evelyn's house and DAniel is her brother.  sebastien is trying to solve the puzzle of his identity but he's coming up blank.  There's TONS of people here and sebastien doens't recognize any of them.  there's a guy that claims to be his best friend.  I forgot his name.  Daneiel says they won't be having a search party, but "the boys" are going out hunting and they'll try to find this Anna that was murdered.

ch 5 Sebastien has a run in with a run in with a guy wearing a plague mask and he's all beware the footman.  Then he goes tot he stables and finds a note from saying don't leave Blackheath (that's what this place is called) cause lives depend on it.  It's signed by Anna.  He's now decided he needs to be at the graveyard at 10:30.

ch 6 sebastian meets evelyn.  She decides to help him out with his investigation into Anna cause she's smart and this place is boring so doing a bit of detectiving seems like as good a thing to do as anything else.  the go to talk to the butler, but he's out cold cause he was attacked by a guy with a fire place poker last night.  One of the maids is lookin at sebastian and he's like "I know you?" and she's like "nah, but i served you dinner last night" and he's all "you bring me a note" and she's like "nah but I know who did"  and evelyn is like, ooh, that's my maid, she's bringing refreshemnts to the hunters.  So we're gonna go into the woods and find her.

ch 7 they head out into the woods.  As they're walking around evelyn is all "you're so different" and he's all tell me everything and she's all you were  a dope dealer.  You sell lognum to rich people.  He doesn't love this and goes back to the house and his room and smashes open his chest and it's empty except for a chess piece with Anna carved into it.

ch 8 Sébastien gives an excuse to not attend the party.   Sneaks out to the graveyard.  Evelyn is waiting for him on the way.  She's got a gun.  They don't find Anna but they find a lantern and blood.  They go back to the house and Sébastien finds a box with a dead rabbit in it with a note from the footman.

Ch 9 this chapter is WILD!!!  Narrator wakes up and he's in a different room.  Apparently in the basement cause the only stairs go up.  He makes his way to the front door and is confronted by himself.  He doesn't say anything. He's pretty much in shock.  Someone that knows him finds him.  He's the butler and it's yesterday again.  He's running around and collides with one of these nobles and the man beats him real bad with the fire poker, just like happened yesterday. 

Ch 10 narrator wakes up and he's someone else and it's 3 am.  Plague doctor is there to tell him what's what.  He's got 8 days to solve a murder.   Every day he'll be in another body. He does the sanest thing and tries to run away.  He goes to the stables and the stable master gives him a car and directions to the  village.   It doesn't work. Plague doctor tells him the house won't just let him leave without solving the mystery. 

Ch 11 Today Narrator is a very very very very very fat man named Lord Ravencourt.  He's gonna meet with lady hardcastle today.

ch 12 Lord Ravencourt is very very very fat.  So fat that he can't get out of a bathtub himself and can barely walk.  He goes to the library and writes a notes to the other body jumpers and puts it in the encyclopedia hoping one of them will find it and write back.  he's sick of Lord Ravencourt's fat fat fat body and decides to take a nap hoping to wake up as someone else.

ch 13 HE DOES!!!  This time he's back in the Butler's body.  There's a lady that explains the rules of the video game.  He lives a full day in every body.  Every time he goes to sleep he'll wake up in the previous life he went to sleep in.  In this case, he jumps from Lord Ravencourt into the butler.

ch 14 he's back in lord ravencoirt and Daniel is there to tell him he's also a body jumper and so is Anna.  The footman is kind of a body jumper in that he seems to know who's who and always seems to win but he doesn't jump bodies he's just himself Iverson and over again.  He tells his servant to go to the dinning room and writes him a note he's to read after.  He says we're about to have a weird day and he's gonna need him to trust him.  He tries to talk to evelyn.  She's not having it.  She HATES lord ravencourt.  She's all "if you beat me at chess I'll talk to you fur reelz" He's the fat guy losing at chess that he saw on day 1.  But mostly he's losing at that point to extricate himself from the current situation.   Evelyn knows her life is in danger but seems to be ok with it.  She'd rather die with her secrets I guess.

Ch 15 narrator tells ravencourts footman that hes not revencourt and being in ravencourts body is not conducive to running around and doing shenhannegans.   So he tells him a number of things to do.  As he's walking to prepare for his meeting with lady hardcastle he starts hearing noises abd the he hears a voice say "we'll meet soon little rabbit."

Ch 16 narrator finds the maid that the Nobel that used to be a servant here was mean to.  They chat about it and she seems to feel much better.  He tells her to tell evelyns maid that he needs to speak with her and they will both be rewarded.  He's tired after all the walking and talking and sits down.  A woman hands him a glass of iced liquid.  She tells him she's Anna and to stop looking for her.  The footman is also looking for her and so the both of them looking for her is problematic.   Aiden bishop is the name she remembers from waking up.  Perhaps that's his name.

Ch 17 narrator meets Millicent Derby, who calls him Cecil. They are both wonder where lady hardcastle is as both of them had appointments that she didn't shownup to.  They hear a noise from lady hardcastles room and go to investigate.   The door has been broken into and her guns are missing and todays page of her day planner.

The only evidence he finds of the chronus club at all is a stone somebody engraved and burried at the foot of their grave.

ch 74 twoard the end ofhis natural life, Harry tells Vincent about his remembering of his previous life. Vincent tells him they've been friends for centuries and shows him a special electric hat that will help him remember. Harry sees it and immediately knows it's a device to try to make Harry forget.

He changes a number here, a decimal point there and it's all dangrously horribly wrong. They shut it down but it's too late. The meltdown is happening. Harry saves Vincent's life and takes the worst of the explosion and radiation. On his deathbed Harry tells Vincent of his childhood and Vincent tells him of his. Harry now has the info he needs to ensure Vincent will not be born in the next life.

First 15 lives of Harry August ch 35 through 60

 Ch 35 Harry is in Russia.  The Chronos club is a bit diminished there.  When you're a time traveller that knows the communist revolution and World War 2 are coming, you get the hell out.  But there's a contact there that's hard core Russian and is going to stick around in her home country even if it's a horrible nightmare.  She tells Harry to go to a professor and blackmail him.

ch 36: Harry's attempt at blackmail was a mixed success.  The guy he's blackmailing says to come over to his office.  But there's something off in his voice and Harry's pretty sure he's getting set up.  So he says he's too far away from that office and to meet him at a subway station.  When he gets to the subway he sees people he thinks are government stooges.  So he causes a distraction and is able to get a couple seconds with the blackmailee who tells him where he thinks the bad guy is.  So Harry ditches his old ID and he's now got an ID saying he's a guy from finland.

ch 37-42:  Harry somehow gets it in his head that Vitali Karpenko is the source of the trouble.  Then he gets the idea that Vitali is at Pietrok - 112.  I think he shoots a guy.  There's train travel and a story about a time he died of drugs and picked oranges in Isreal and other such shenhannegans.  He makes it to Pietrok 0 112 and impersonates a Russian Captain and BS's his way to the commander at Pietrok-112 and tell shim to call Vitali Karpenko.

ch 43: Harry and the Commander have a fun conversation and Vitali shows up.  Seems like it's someone Harry knows as they say "fancy seeing you here."

ch 44: Guessing Vitali is Vincent Rankis as this chapter is a flashback to a time when he and Vincent went on a boat ride with a couple undergrads.

ch 45: It is Vincent.  He tells everyone else to leave the room and he and Harry have a chat.

ch 46: Harry goes to visit his biological father as he's dying.  He's a horrible man.

ch 47:Vincent shows Harry the big scary thing hes building.  He says it's a quantum mirror.

ch 48:Vincent and Harry eat chicken and debate the claptrapness of a quantum mirror.

ch 49:Harry spends some time in a jail cell and decides he'll help Vincent.

ch 50: Harry once met a guy named Fidel in Afghanastan who goes life after life fighting in wars.  In the lives where he doesn't die in war he ends up dying of lung cancer at the age of 77.  His most interesting death is being killed by a kid with a piece of banboo in the vietnam war.

ch 51: Harry tells Vincent about the message saying the world is ending and he thinks it might be because of what they're doing.  Vincent is dismissive of this.  Harry needs a vacation, so he goes to Leningrad.  He goes to where the chronus club used to be and there's just a WW2 memorial there now.

ch 52: Harry confronts Vincent about the Chronus club and Vincent admits that he destroyed their office in Leningrad.  There's a lot of back and forth about the long term affects of what they're doing here.  Harry decides he must make his escape

ch 53:Once when he was buisnesmanning in argentina he was kidnapped by people that demanded a 300k randsom from his company.  The comapny would have happily paid it, but Harry didn't feel like waiting around.  So he killed one of the guards and stole his gun and shot a bunch of other guards.  The kidnappers decide to cut and run.

ch 54: Harry decides to make his escape on foot through the Russian Wilderness.  But first he needs a gun so he can kill himself if need be.  He makes his way to the armory, knocks out he guard there, but doesn't find any keys.  He picks the lock to find that Vincent is already inside waiting for him.

ch 55: Harry wakes up in a padded room strapped to a chair.  They chitchat about their options.  Vincent says he needs Harry to tell him when and where he was born.  He says he would never forever kill him, but he needs this information so that he could so that Harry won't tell the world Vincent's plans.  Harry's first thought is that Vincent must have help from at least one other older multi-lifer.  Harry's pretty dedicated to not telling him.

ch 56: Harry is being tortured.  He convinces a seargent to give him poison.  After two and a half days Harry is now dying.  Vincent then has his brain shocked super bad in the hopes it makes him forget this life so Harry will not interfere in the next.

ch 57: Harry talks about a time he was involved in a forgettening.  The goal is to forget your past lives so you can have a fresh start.  This is accomplished with a combination of chemicals and electric shock.  The goal is to have the person with total amnesia right before they die.  The earliest one of these Harry is aware of is in 1870.

ch 58: The forgettening doesn't work.  Harry knows who he is.  He's suddenly trying to come up with different ideas as to what he could do to fake amnesia.  ln the end none of his ideas really matter because his body is not really able to function anymore and in the end Vincent tells a guard to shoot him.

ch 59: Harry is reborn and at the age of 6 tries to contact the chronus club and finds he is unable to do so.  This is very disconcerting.  Vincent must have a vast group of other life loopers that are part of his conspiracy to have accomplished this.

ch 60: Harry slinks back home with his tail between his legs.  He plays the good boy unitl 15, when he makes his way to London to do some more investigating.  He only finds evidence of a few chronus clubs around the world.  The one in London shutdown in 1909.  This makes Harry feel not too bad cause this means whoever Vincent is working with has only been able to do enough damage to undo one generation's worth of work.  He's gonna go to Vienna.

The first fifteen lives of harry august up to Chapter 34

 ch 1: Harry dies and then comes back to life.  Turns out he's not the only one.  when he's about to die in his 11th life in 1996, a little girl comes along and tells him the world is ending.  This is a message that has been passed down in this manner for a thousand years.

ch 2: Harry is a bastard child.  The product of a rape who's mother died in child birth.  He didn't know any of this during his first life because he was adopted by the Augusts who work on the rapist's land and raised him as their own and was provided for by the rapist's sister.  Did I mention the rapist was rich?  Harry died in 1989 in his first life.

ch 3: In general, people do not handle circular life very well.  Harry certainly did not.  In his second life he was commited when he was 7 years old and commited suicide shortly after.

ch 4: give or take a bit, Mrs. August dies when Harry is 7 every life.  In his 3rd life he comes to the relization that the lord of the manner that his parents work at is his father.

ch 5: Harry was in world war 2, like most men his age.  in his first life he volunteered and in his third life he got drafted and became a plane mechanic.  The main difference between those experiences is that in his third life he tried to learn things that would be useful in the next.

ch 6: in his fourth life harry became a doctor mostly so he can study himself.  He fell in love with a lady surgen named jenny and when he was 57, made the mistake of telling her the truth.  He ended up in the same asylum he did as a child in his second life.

ch 7: being in an asylum sucks

ch 8: it probably sucks less now than it did in the 1960s where they did whatever they wanted to you.

ch 9: in his 7th life he saw jenny again at a medical conference and tried to have an affair with her.

ch 10: Back to his time in the asylum in his 4th life.  A new doctor comes along and tells Harry that the old doctor has been fired.  He's now free to contact his wife.  Maybe sue the old doctor so she can make some money off of Harry's suffering.  The new doctor believes Harry and wants him to help who he refers to as "the good guys" with what he knows.  Then he tells him about a group called the chronus club.  A group of people like Harry that get together periodically.  The big question, if they exist, is what they do.  

ch 11-16:  i read these all at once.  Harry travels around the world in life 3 trying to find religious answers to his whole deal.  He doesn't.  but he does have chinese intelligence threaten to kill him.  Back to life 4 where a British intelligence,a man named phearson, dopes him up with drugs and interrogates him in a thoroughly unpleasant manner.

ch 17: in life 6 Harry gets into physics. Has a PHD at 23, gets invited to the manhattan project. Is throughly dissatisfied with the food and heating in the first half of his life.  Talks to an undergrad about timetravel for half the chapter.

ch 18: back to being tortured by phearson

ch 19: harry writes a letter to his wife saying he loves her.  He also writes a letter to a friend asking him to put an ad in the paper requesting assistance from the Chronus club.

ch 20: A lady comes from the Chronus club to "save" Harry.  She says to meet her on july 1st 2 pm trafalger square.  She hands him a pen knife he uses to kill himself

ch 21: In life 3 when harry is aware that the lord of the manner is his biological father he goes to church a lot and he had a couple childhood churtch related conversations with his biological father.  He thinks maybe his father is also a life repeater, maybe these things are genetic.  But he dares not ask him.

ch 22: In his fifth life, Harry is very sad.  Mostly because he is suffering from PTSD of being tortured in his 4th life.  He writes a letter to his biological father telling his torture story but as if it happened during world war 1.  

Ch 23: He gets drafted into the army in 1939, but he's got that meeting iwth the lady from the Chronus club in 1940, so he becomes a draft dodger.  The meet happens and he's very happy to have found someone else like him.  

ch 24: Virginia is the lady's name.  She talks him through the whole deal of the Chronus club.  

ch 25: Every now and then some Kalachakra (That's what the multi-lifers call themselves) tries to use their knowledge to "fix" the world and it's often a disater.  One such incident was caused by a man named Viktor Hoeness.  He decided the french king could make the world a better place if given knowledge of the future.  This starts out kinda bad cause it involves the French taking over mostof Europe through violent war but ends up much worse with all this future knowledge resutling in a Nuclear war in the early 1900s.

ch 26: The big problem with this as far as the Kalachara are concerend is that this interfered with the future birth of Kalachara.  If a Kalacahra dies, no big deal, they come back and do it all again.  But if something happens such that a Kalachara is not born, then there is no next time.  This is a big no no.  Also explained in this chapter is that Kalachara can simply forget they've had past lives.  Also something that can happen is that a Kalachara gets tortured to death so much so that it renders them ineffectual in the next life.  They tried this with Viktor Hoeness.  But after a few lifetimes this wears off.  So the Kalachara went back and made it so that Viktor Hoeness was never born.  Virginia also talks about how some Kalachara just forget their previous lives. 

Ch 27: The news that really disturbs Harry is that Kalachara can forget.  It makes him wonder if he really remembers his previous lives or if he is just kinda trying to fill it in with his imagination.  I also wonder if he's actually lived many more lives than he currently thinks and he has forgotten the previous ones.

ch 28:   Harry is arguing with his undergrad about time travel.  Harry gets really into it and slips up and starts to talk about future techology,  and undergrad is all "OMG, you're Chronus club." and then he punches him a couple times

ch 29: In his 12th life, Harry gathers up the Chronus Club (all of them, quite the site to see) to pass on the message he was given.  Unfortunately,they don't have much to go on as to what they should pass to the past.

ch 30: This chapter is about a time when Harry killed a man that was serial murdering sex workers.  Or he tried.  The man ended up stabbing him and Harry died.

ch 31: Harry gives a message to a dying man that the world is ending.  His reponse: Excellent, something new to talk about.

ch 32: Harry uses his future knowledge to create a HUGE investment company.  So he's got all the money he needs to do whatever he wants.

ch 33: Another thing Harry uses his HUGE investment company to seek out people that are ahead of their time.  He finds a company in East Germany that is developing radios that are using techology from 13 years in the future.  Having bought the comapny, he can go there and ask questions.  The guy that is credited for the invention that is futuristic tells Harry that he spent some time in Russia and learned what he needed there to create the advanced radio.  The man that he said was gonna change the world was named Vitali Karpenko.  So Harry goes to Russia to find this man assuming he's the cause of the end of the world.

ch 34: Harry reminises about his many past lives and gets on a train to Leningrad.

legion's memory first 4 stories

Story 1: drive pg 1
Solomon Epstein, inventor of the Epstein drive had a life on Mars before he invented the drive and accidentally killed himself. This is back before Mars was truly independent. Except for the ever present existential dread of Earth invading for whatever reason, it sounds like a good life. He had friends he enjoyed hanging out with and a job he liked and eventually an SO he was planning to grow old with. As he's being crushed to death by the g forces of never ending acceleration that's only now possible due to the efficiency of his drive design, he thinks this is going to change everything and it's a bummer he won't be there to see it.

Story 2 butcher of Anderson station pg 26

This one's fun cause it's two stories at once. One is the story of Anderson station from Fred Johnson's point of view. The other is how he ended up working for the OPA.

Story 3 gods of Risk pg 55
[To the tune of Rudolph the red nosed reigndeer.]

You know Bobbie Drapper the famous Mars marine. But do you 
recall? The least famous Draper of all. David, the chemistry student. 
He cooked up some drugs. 
He gave them to a guy to sell them, 
that guy"s name was Hutch.

Shenhannegans ensue.  Hutch is thinking killing David to tie up loose ends is a good idea.  Luckily Bobbie folloed David and beatsh Hutch within an inch of his life.  Hutch agrees to let bygones be bygones cause he doesnt want Bobbie to continue said beatings until his life is extinguished.



story 4 the churn
the chrun is a term the criminal underworld at least the ones in this story use to describe the phenomena of the powers that be bringing in a group of government thugs to get tough on crime.  One such churn is happening in this story in Baltimore.
Amos Burton is a crime boss.  He's got a guy named Erich working for him.  Then there's this guy named Timmy who's working for Erich.  Timmy killed a guy and Amos wants to talk to him about it.  Amos finds himself being charmed a bit by Timmy and decides not to kill or fire him or anything.  He tells Timmy that his job is to protect Erich.  I suspect it's because while Amos sees value in having a violent murderer around, he doesn't want to send him on jobs unsupervised.  So Erich will be the brains to Timmy's brawn from here on out.
Timmy's mom is dead.  He's still close with one of her old friends Lydia.  They do sex sometimes.  This seems to be a friends with benefits situation.
Erich and Timmy are doing crime stuff involving fake identities and what not.  Erich is kinda heads down doing whatever when Timmy sees an anti-crime sweep coming and grabs Erich and runs.  The downside to Timmy's heroics is that Erich's computer is left behind and that's real bad.  They talk about a DNA lock that I don't understand.
Timmy sees the writing on the wall and tells Erich to hang tight while he takes care of some business.  Said business is making sure Lydia is ok.  He's got an abandoned island he takes Lydia to.  He takes Erich there too.
Timmy goes to see Amos Burton cause he's the man with the plan.  Amos gives Timmy a gun.  A gun he should shoot Erich with cause right now the cops just have a computer they can't use.  If they also catch Erich, they'll be able to unlock his computer and then they'll have way too much info they can use against Amost Burton.
Timmy goes to the island to kill Erich.  Lydia talks him out of it.  Timmy goes back and kills Amos Burton.
Timmy then gets picked up by a chrime sweep.  He ain't too woried about it cause he's undocumented and it'll just be a mater of time before they let him go.  But then the sweeper is all "you're Amos Burton and you've got a space ship to catch." and Timmy is all like "GOD DAMN IT ERICH!!!!"  But he's not that upset about it and he catches the space ship.

hogfather 7 and 8

240
Susan and the oh God of hangovers go to deaths library to try find out what happened to the lady that works for the tooth fairy that has gone missing.  Fir a second I got real excited cause her last name starts with Bot just like mine.  I thought it would be my name and the book was about me and it was a never ending story kinda deal.  But it wasn't.   They find her book. She is in a prison.  She was abducted.  They're gonna go save her.

245
Death gies to a poor person house.  He wants to give them everything in their list.  Albert is there too and he says no, poor people don't get everything on their list. What he gets is a little wooden toy and an apple.  Death says that's not fair and Albert basically says life isn't fair with a lot more words.

253
Susan has a sword so thin that it's not visible to the naked eye.   It's deaths sword he uses to separate souls from bodies.

255
Hex is writing something. Mostly error messages like put of cheese or insufficient data.  Hex proposes the theory that once people believe in a big God that faith 8s solidified as a thing and when people stop believing in said big God that belief has to go somewhere.   
They get to talking about Santa clause and realize that none of them believe in Santa Clause and they accidentally bring the cheerful fairy to life. She has no self confidence. It's fun that they believe in her enough to bring her to life but not enough for her to believe in herself. 


267
The oragatang librarian is cold so he's stealing any fabricy thing he can to use as a blanket.  He left out sherry and a banana f9r the hogfather.  Bananas aren't fruit.  They're a type of fish.

270
There are hogwatch carolers in the big city.  If you haven't got a hay penny God Bless you.
Death tells Albert that it's better to give than receive.   Albert says it's a lot more expensive. Flavor from poor characters duckman, coffin Henry, foul Ole Ron, Arnold and a talking dog.

275
Ridcully is hanging out in the library waiting for the hog father to come.  

277
Albert and death are flying about and death is eating fancy food.  Albert asks where he got it.  Turns out he stole it from a fancy restaurant. 

279
Not sure how they got here, but Susan and the Oh God of hangovers are in a child's drawing with a green land, blue sky and yellow sun and blue water.  She has to find the house.  All child's drawings have a house.

283
We're in the restaurant that death stole from.  They now have muddy old boots where their fancy food once was.  The manager is gonna make it work.  9ld boots for Christmas at a fancy restaurant. Spectacular 

286
We're back with the assassins.  They're also in the child's drawing place, which is the tooth fairy house.  Turns out the tooth fairy owns a lot of property and makes tons of money renting it our.  
Banjo has the mind of a child in that he's naive.  Teatime is also childlike in that he does whatever he wants with no regard for consequences.  Medium Dave and chicken wire think about trying to run, but they know if they tried, teatime would find them and kill them.

291
Ridicullly's efforts to stick around in the wizard university library waiting for the hogfather have paid off.  Death shows up to fulfill the librarians wish.list.  Ridcully immediately recognizes him and is all WTF? And death is all, ok, I'll tell you.

294
The assasins are trying to get into the tooth fairy's safe.  It's hard.  The lockpick says he cant get past the magic locks and teatime has Banjo kill him.

299
Susan makes it inside the tooth fairy's house just in time to see the lock picker bounce down to the bottom of the staircase and die.  There a giant conical pile of teeth.  Also the.locksmiths body disappeared  

301 
chickenwire sees Susan and telks teatime about her.  Teatime says to kill her.

302
Susan runs up the stairs.

303
Fancy restaurant is selling boot mudpies like crazy.

304
Chickenwire and others go down the stairs after Susan and don't find her.  They also don't find the lockpick's body and thus is disconcerting.   They also discuss their childhood fears.

307
Susan runs down a hallway and into a room to avoid chickenwire and company.   She tells the oh god of hangovers that with all those teeth the tooth fairy can control all those people. 

308
Medium Dave and catseyye split up to go after Susan.  Catseye is attacked by shadows.

309
Violet is the name of the tooth fairy's underling that Susan is trying to save.  All that's left of the shadow attack on catseye is his boots.  They find vilet and she gives rhem the lowdown on the kidnapping crew and shat she saw rhem do.

313
Peachy is part of the assasin team and he has a crossbow.  So he points it at Susan and company and they are now his captives and he tells them to walk up the stairs.  Peachy also has a belief in the scissor man.  ✂️ when he talks to Susan about it, that's enough to really bring the scissor man into existence for real there.  So he runs away.
