Finally a book I think I will be able to finish cover to cover.

dnf ing this.

That's it, time to switch to Charles Dickens maybe. Mr. K, Sir, you need editing. You seem over indulgent.

I agree this is serious and at the same time, I don't appreciate a dump being taken on the movie Sideways. It's a classic.

"In other words, you
can reduce extraneous cognitive load by initially relying on worked examples
that promote borrowing and then transition into practice exercises that help
learners consolidate and automate new knowledge and skills."

It has really useful stuff like this but you have to dig it out from the research and academia jargon.

Every now and then, the writing of this book shows some real heart and voice. Unlike, his other book, Mastery, Robert Greene here feels repetitive and loose.

The book is better than the film. The second half is just a different animal.

Lost the damn book!!!!

This is more complex than I thought. That is to say I had no clue my country and its history is far more complex than I thought. :(

I adored the film; I am loving the book too. Its like an iceberg. So much below the surface that is deeply satisfying to read.

2017: It was a bad idea trying to read Beloved by Toni Morrison, Dostoyevsky, or films like the lobster, or the killing of a sacred deer. I am not ready for them and that's okay.I want life affirming art. The art of wholeness and sufficiency. Hence I treasure Whisper of the Heart, Stronger, and The Last Jedi. "This is how we win. Not by fighting what we hate, but by saving what we love."
