Slow start. A little tough to get into.

This is a fascinating book that I am finding to be more helpful than other intermittent fasting books because she clarified something I didn’t know—that is insulin spikes not only make you store fat, but spikes make it hard to use or metabolize fat. So this hormone, when spiked, packs it on but won’t let you use it.

A very intetesting book written by the first de-coder of DNA. Basically this is a book about how science and religion (spirituality) don't have to conflict, unless you want them to. Some nominal knowledge about DNA would be useful but isn't necessary.

A weighty but interesting (to a point) about very ancient Ireland. I pretty much read what I was interested in but gave up on the rest.

Gave up. I should say, I guess, that others have loved this book. I just couldn't get into it. I may try again later.

I got this for my son w/ADHD and his new wife. I had a difficult time w/ his ADHD when he was small--so I thought it might help her. It has and the two of them seem to be handling it well.

I found this to be a rather shallow book that I couldn't get interested in. Others like it quite a lot apparently, but it is not my cup of tea.

I am finding it hard to get into this book. It might be the notion of living in a very cold New York village where hockey is it. I will take another stab at it.

Gave up on this one. Too turgid.

The turgid writing (unlike Ms Armstrong's other books, finished me off early. Also there's a lot of complicated, interwwoven Church history that is hard to follow. If she was trying to compete with Dawkins and Hitchens, she didn't--but I have a negative view of them anyway

It got to be too turgid and dull. I made it about half way through.

I'm on page 200 of 330--it's a slog.

I'm on page 124 of 330.

Lags a bit. I've put it down for now.
