Feb 26 I didn’t get as far as I wanted. And I haven’t been able to bear reading it at home, just at work. A few interesting tidbits but otherwise still as dry and boring and hard to pay attention to. Can only read a little before having to take a break.

This is such a slog. I had to force myself to read and then kept having to take breaks. It’s so completely random, it’s hard to follow as it constantly bounces around. It’s so dry and boring, feels like reading a school book. Some of the pages are hard to read with graphics behind the text. Cannot wait to be done.

I started this at work but had other things going on and couldn’t read like I wanted to. It’s also not what I expected. It’s all over the place, from one random person and place and thing to another. It’s hard to follow and harder to care. It almost put me to sleep in the afternoon and I had to stop reading. Already gearing up to donate this one back to the shop.
