Interesting build up - sounds like the real story is in the courts.

Compelling story already. Interesting to think of the hurdles jumped to move the Age of Exploration forward

FLows, gret narrative, feel like I'm there. Do we ever learn?

Ben is 29% done with The Witcher Omnibus, Vol. 1
House of Glass was good, but a bit isolated. Leshen is cool, and the Succubus. Best part is the flipping of the script and the duality of man.

Entertaining and cheeky. The characters are great. Setting is interesting, but how is this going to sustain?

Interesting - Trump was always disliked by others in his field

Good, but not a well paced as her book of corpses

Liking this open and honest, if frenetic, course through the career of a drugged up east coast chef.

A bit much, but written straight forwardly, I'll come back to this.

Raw, a bit arrogant in mood, despite constant self deprecation.

Ben is 20% done with Leslie F*cking Jones
Entertaining - a bit crudely written. Standard speaking vernacular is good to a point, but for an entire book it starts to run thin.

Commentary on modern communication - some car conversations are almost soapbox level. It does a good job of giving views their voice, which provides enough rope to hang itself.

Very interesting and compelling. Sociopathy is not well defined and clearly a spectrum, like most human behaviors and behavioral conditions.
