I have been pretty much ignoring the astrology bits in this book--the protagonist is into astrology in a very detailed way and I read them but don't try to process or make any sense of them. I hope the details of it aren't relevant to the plot.

This book is SO good. I was hesitant about reading something that had been translated, but the writing/language is great.

I finally just wiped the slate clean & removed/recategorized the 25 things on my "currently reading" list as "to come back to."

Maybe I will come back to them, maybe I won't, but it feels good to start fresh!

I'm only Did Not Finishing this because when I was reading it, long ago, I had to return it before I was done, and the topic isn't as interesting to me as it was many years ago - but it is a good book.

So good!

So good!

Started reading this after hearing a beautiful passage (about the shipping industry!) on the radio (on Planet Money, of all places!) Really enjoying it, it's easy and pleasant and interesting to move through.

Technically this is only available in the UK, but with some fancy footwork you can buy the kindle edition from the US. I'm only through the prologue but it's very good so far!

This book is a masterpiece! (Don’t be misled by the title into thinking it’s a beach read or something, though.)

Really enjoying this, and the audio version is read by the author, which I always appreciate.

This is very very good.

oh yeah I've been listening this too because why limit yourself to FIVE* books concurrently when you could do SIX?
anyway it's very very good.
*not necessarily the actual number

YES I AM STARTING ANOTHER BOOK EVEN THOUGH I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF MANY OTHERS AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME

also it turns out Scribd has the audiobook version of this, and I have a Scribd free trial for a few more weeks.
