Jeff is on page 112 of 607 of The Gulag Archipelago: The Authorized Abridgement
Just finished the chapter titled "Interrogation", and I lost count of the number of times I stopped and shook my head in horror.

I'm amazed at how poorly we perform at subjective judgements!

Simply stunning, hard for me to wrap my mind around everything in this compelling case for a very old earth that could only have been created by God.

Stunned, and angry, that this is based on a real place

Jeff is 33% done with American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation
An interesting book, but I'm trying to navigate an undercurrent of disrespect in the way the author has stated a few things. Haven't pinned it down yet, but I'm not enamored with the sacrilegious way he presents some of the details. Maybe it's just that many of our founding fathers believed in "God", yet were not "Christians" in the true sense of the Word. Stand by...?

I'm just over halfway through this book and am mad enough at the founder of the company that I might just make a permanent switch to Lyft!

Rarely have I said "huh?" or "hmmmmm...." as often as I have this far in this fascinating book! Like, once or twice per PAGE!

It's taking me awhile to get through this one, but not because it's not interesting!

An interesting read about a somewhat obscure trip to explore an uncharted river in Brazil in the early 1900s
