Good lord this is morbid.

At this point, I am deciding if I will finish this book. Clearly the author has poured her heart and soul into this book, but I'm just yearning for some citations. I was expecting more of a natural history book than this. Comments on the question "to finish or not to finish" are welcome.

I seem to have once again picked up a public policy book instead of a parenting book. Which is fine! I think these proposals are well-chosen interventions that would greatly improve all our lives. More on that later. If you have any book recommendations for raising boys, lmk.

I mean, this is just stunning. The mystery, at the moment, is what works to support men... And so far I'm convinced there's a crisis and terribly flummoxed about it.

Welling-up. Hits me right in the feels

My family is getting tired of my Mike Chen obsession

So far, this treatment is quite balanced. He's not discounting the arguments of feminism, but showing how direct competition with women is highlighting the problems with male education that have existed all along.

I can't decide if the author actually knows all the secrets she's leaving unwritten in this book, or if they exist just to be mysterious.

The purpose of this update is to remind everyone (indignantly) that "defenestrate you from that window" is redundant. Do not use words you cannot dissect.

Just the kind of light and fluffy thing I need right now. Kind of Real World meets magical Apprentice.

Oh phooey. Half way through this book, and it's way past my bedtime. Do I have to be responsible?

On page 111, I decided I will read all of Mike Chen's non-star-wars sci-fi.

Negan is just as awful in the comics, and I'm not sure I can read several more books of him cussing

This is stunning. So true and raw. I am just crying. Yes, this is it, the magic words to give my broken heart voice.

Well written, light nonfiction reading. Reads like a collection of short stories.

Well now. That was quite a surprising twist.
