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.

Quote superficial. And so much "the X-ing of" and passive voice etc.

Pat's stupidity, hypocrisy and lack of preparation ate irritating

Assuming this is like the documentary about stewardesses I recently watched. Another book I should skim.

This is so contemporary it's scary

Ouch the narrator misspeaks the title in his first sentence. Not an auspicious start!

Didn't WWIi end in 1945???? Why does the author say 1946??

George Washington didn't have any children so he can't have had a son.

Yet another book that needs significant excisions. Almost halfway and it just repeats her and her parents' mundane lives and endless financial issues because of her parents' irresponsibility.

Shouldn't Kate and the Amish call them(selves) Plain not Amish? And WHY is Kate proceeding with her investigation when she's clearly been drugged? Utterly ludicrous.

Some hubris to say "the first and only" Code Talker autobiography. How does he know there won't be others?

You can't tell if someone was 7 or 15?!

2% in and I'm already bored.

So much passive voice, x-ong of or ridiculous phrasing like "the interruption of a collective continuance of a people." Seriously? This is a good book stop ruining it by writing like this.

Ugh can we stop writing things like "when X's arrival" instead of "when X arrived"? Everything isn't possessive! It's not "Y's death" etc.
