What am I reading and why can't people be simple, succinct, and straightforward?

I read the article before the book and even as a disabled person I'm not buying the argument

Fun and nice (sort of) to have short chapters but so many repeated phrases (close together no less).

Not what I expected. Finally getting to the history of the book. Also there's a typo in the audiobook.

I didn't know the Green Book was named for a reason, I assumed it was the color. Also stunned that the author didn't know about it until 2014.

Miss Taylor do shut up

Enjoying this

I didn't know the bot about Warren and Johnson which is disappointing and was easily preventable. Mad about RBG all over.

"A large woman of indeterminate age - she could be 25 or 40 -" Yes, that is what "indeterminate age" means. So tired of all these writers using repetitive phrasing. Benedict does it a lot too, "I nod in agreement" and the like.

Also, for crying out loud, how did it take THIS long for any of them to see that May changed her clothes before leaving? This lot is utterly daft.

I enjoy Agatha Christie and have heard of, but never read the Lord Peter Wimsy series but none of the other authors. Dorothy's impulsiveness and inability to keep quiet is annoying.

Finally a professor who can lecture! This was fascinating and I enjoyed it.

Definitely need an editor. So many redundancies, passive voice, etc. Skipping the men.

Oh wow Mary's great nephew? (her father's grandson) married Amelia Erhart. Mary Putnam wa descended from Nathaniel Putnam whose brother Thomas was Sakem with trial Ann Putnam Jr's father.

I didn't know Defoe lived in the 1600s. The verbosity and roundabout writing style is profoundly irritating.

My eyes are glazing

Good grief, still no plot. If I hear potage again I'll scream. I'm done

Jacquotte is irritating. I'm skipping ahrad but likely won't finish.

Fox howl?

Irrationally giddy that they're talking about "My Mother Told Me."

6% in and K is still just arguing with them

"...given their murderous and suicidal tendencies to kill themselves and each other" is redundant. Good grief.
Except for some of the subject matter, this reads like an elementary school essay.

Surprised and annoyed that there's nothing BC.

The narrator is lovely. Glad there isn't much about the art theory.

Have heard of but never read the first two books Moll Flanders and Tristan Shandy and I doubt I will. Finally on to a book I've read.

Gregor why don't you stop your family from doing things instead of just thinking about it?

Gregor stop talking

15% on and he just got out of bed. Good Lord.

Really? Really? You start off with a blind guy talking about the difficulty of navigating the world and using braille, large print etc and the book us in tiny font?

Wasn't expecting to start with literature.
