Second this, Metamorphosis is a good quick read and was also my introduction to Kafka.

One of the hardest things I've ever had to learn as a reader is when to abandon a book. But you must. You won't read all the books you want to because there is not enough time. Life's too short to be struggling through a book you aren't enjoying.

Based on how he behaves in public, private must be absolutely wild.

I have been reading The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East by Nicholas Morton which I am really enjoying. Nicholas has a clear way of describing events and putting them into context without getting too dry with it. I am also reading A Vast Conspiracy: The inspiration for Impeachment by Jeffrey Toobin which I am a little over half way into, but I am considering just giving up. I have been pecking away at this book for probably 2 months now. It's just too long winded. I don't need to know every single conversation, meeting, plot, dinner that people had - I feel this would have made an incredible long-form article in something like the New Yorker but a multi hundred page book seems to be pushing it for me.

This is such a cool thing to have. Did you buy this or did you work on the show?

I am finally working my way through Sandman, i'm on book 6 now. I do find myself enjoying this one a little less than the others.

I only read Animal Farm for the first time a few months ago and I really wish I had read it earlier. It was a pretty quick read and its something that will stay with me. Nineteen Eighty Four is one of my favourite books and and something I always encourage people to read.

I don't believe for one second any citizen believes this is a good use of time or resource. Absolutely ridiculous.

it is! I am only about 20 or so pages in so far but I am feeling a bit lost. It just seems completely disjointed from what I have read so far. For a few pages I was wondering if I had somehow got the books out of order.

I read new york times reviews, other than that I don't really read any. I certainly agree good reads are not reliable.

I have often wanted to rid myself of my hue bridge. This may have to be bought.

He reminds me of the newspaper vendor in watchmen. His opinion flim flaming depending on what is on the front page that morning. I'm not convinced he's not basically playing a character at this point.
