It’s ok, when it’s not overly bookish.

Dave is 15% done with Scan Artist: How Evelyn Wood Convinced the World That Speed-Reading Worked
I’ve had a lot of luck with the Reading Dynamic program. This is the first time I’ve heard Wood described as a scam. Any moron practicing the techniques can easily read several times faster and benefit as a reader. Perhaps this book is written for slow readers to justify their reading slowness?

Dave is 5% done with Ducks, Newburyport
I was a good 2 hours into this, not sure I could take another 30 some hours on audio…the fact is, when I hear someone say, the fact it, I think… the bs is. Then I pocket dialed and returned the book early to the library. It’s ok, might even buy a paper copy as I liked some of it. Like the silent parts, without the spoken words.

Dave is starting 22 Murders: Investigating the Massacres, Cover-up and Obstacles to Justice in Nova Scotia
First I heard of these events! Very interesting hearing about Nova Scotia culture and cops. Oddly heartwarming to learn about bumbling police forces. Had no idea Canadian Hells Angels was such a thing…that might deserve it’s own book!

Dave is starting Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life
I guess it only makes sense, a loser, getting a bone for another loser…wouldn’t be the first time. I’m not seeing why some are calling this life changing …

Insanely hard to get with this book. It’s just sooooo bad.

Dave is 55% done with Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America
Really great, a tad slow and repeaty… perhaps if Sacklers had a name like Kennedy’s…or Rockerfella…then probably could have pulled this off. Either way, book is like a kick to the jewels.

Dave is starting Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident
Really enjoying the book, had to stop midway and return to library. But I’ll get back to it. Gotta let it simmer for a while!

Some people just can tell a great story, make the events sound way more interesting than they were. I wish the events themselves were more interesting.

Ok. I’m 2 plus hours in. It’s a funny dorky guy story, basically…yet narrated by a cool sounding cat. Hmmm…
