Festive.

This book is beginning to annoy me

Think this might go DNF. Practice my not finishing books for the sake of finishing a book. These are not particularly interesting to me. I started airframe by Michael Crichton and was more interested in it half way through the first chapter. A lesson for me perhaps. Give up sooner. Like real life.

Slow burn or no burn.

This is long. I'm not sure where it is going. I was expecting an apocalyptic event. It might end up with a prediction of mild dystopia? I don't know. Not reading the synopsis isn't always a good idea. So far I'm learning and forgetting a lot about Shackleton and the likes.

I think I'm out. The characters are terrible. The dialogue is unrealistic. "Hello man I just met, I believe we have suffered an EMP attack you should go home to your family" man replies like "I will wait on the police thanks". No one is ever shocked about the emp. Or wants to discuss it. I was going to try potter through but no. I think life is long enough. or too short.

I was going to lament the absolute misery, but it's not like I could ever have assumed it would be cheerful... And I won't learn. I'm a martyr for misery perhaps.

This is more boring than I thought possible. I enjoyed the introduction more than the stories so far. I doubt it will get better.

I didn't know him before this book but I like memoirs normally, this one might not be for me. This might go on the DNF pile.

I think I give up.

I don't know how far along I am but this book really has unnecessarily graphic scenes, I feel like the SA's are... I don't know. Written in a way to bring gratification to the reader? To very specific readers rather. One SA it feels like it is depicted that the woman deserved & enjoyed it.. It also often blames "the blacks" for most other crimes that aren't the focus of the story. Uh curiousity prevails though...

"We are bathed in options, surrounded by too much information with too many competing visions of happiness. We crave simplicity."

She kissed him. She wouldn't kiss him. No. She shouldn't have. She kissed him again. Deep. Maybe deeper than before. Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.

I don't think I can read more of this nonsense. I really wanted to love it. Maybe I'm too cynical. I wanted cosy forest life. This is backwardsville where wimmin are wimmin and men chop wood. And when they kiss, they kiss deep.

I need something soft for my brain

I have no idea what I'm doing but I may keep on keeping on. I have had this book for around 15(?) years so it seemed like time to read it. I need to add a novel to my current reads. This is not a novel.

Another uplifting read no doubt

Britt-Marie and I have not clicked yet. I'll give it another while before I go with DNF.

I don't know if I should stop reading this. I'm getting too many spoilers. I know how all the greatest TV shows ever end. I know a whole lot about shows I intended to watch at some state.

I don't know... Parking it for now.
Repetitive and repetitive.
Hasn't said anything that isn't rather obvious.
Doubt that I'll finish it.

I don't think I finished this. I don't recall. Not promising in any regard really.

I'm gonna park this one. Not sure if it's for me. I'm not a prude by any means but i am kind of distracted by the unnecessaryness of all the sex. Memories of sex. Masturbation what seems like three minutes after you are widowed with a newborn on what seemed like page 5 really didn't seem believable. But hey I don't know I'm not a widow. I might revisit but I feel too hyper aware of what feels like misplaced erotica.
