Gonna try to finish this book in one day so it counts as a book read for 2025

Technically on page 3 but really much further since the 10-page introduction uses Roman numerals for its page numbers. Already had to use a dictionary so many times. This might be a tough one to slug through, but I’m excited to learn more about one of the most influential figures in American history.

Halfway!

“Again, and again, the film returns to Nolan‘s old fear, that of being locked in - specifically, of locking yourself in, willingly submitting to structures designed to protect you that turn out, instead, to entrap you.”

Finished book one of four in this novel. A fascinating and captivating read for me so far. The filmmaker inside of me can’t help but notice the cinematic potential of this story. I can easily imagine this being one of those HBO miniseries that stays in first gear the entire time, but you keep watching anyways because it’s just a good vibe and the characters are engaging.
