Timekeepers: How the World Became Obsessed With Time | Simon Garfield

After a day feeling like I can never get enough time to just hang out with these guys while they're babies, this feels like a timely (gah, that word again) choice... #BunniesofLitsy

rabbitprincess Awwwww the floof! And the little ears!!! ♥️♥️🐰🐰 Ready to start The Division Bell Mystery on Monday? 😊 6y

shanaqui @rabbitprincess Yep! I can't remember if I asked -- how fast do you normally read/want to read this? 6y

rabbitprincess @shanaqui I'll be at least starting to read it on the bus, so it might take me 2 or 3 days (depending on commute). I can keep you posted on how far I've managed to get each day 😊 6y

Gezemice OMG I am dying here. Soooooo Cuuuuuuuuute! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰 6y

Unfortunately my previous scheduled plans went way over and I‘m calling it a day at 8 hours for #24in48 day 1. While I probably won‘t make the time up tomorrow, I still plan to participate!

I was able to clock a lot more hours than I thought I would for #readathon! I didn‘t read as many as I hoped because one of mine was a doorstopper 😅 Still fun to read with you all!

I‘m trying to screenshot my watch, but I give up! Argh.

Here‘s my #deweysreadathon #finaltime. Considering I wasn‘t planning to join in at all, I‘m happy with this total. I finished one book I was already reading and started two more.

Hours read: 4
Books read: 3

Christine Awesome! (And I so identify with struggling with the watch screenshot...except in the opposite direction - I am always accidentally taking screenshots of mine! 😂) 7y

A continually fascinating book. I particularly liked the chapters about timepieces; made me understand my mum's little collection of watches a bit better 😉 Garfield's writing flows well and is peppered with interesting facts and amusing footnotes. Gorgeous cover, too. Recommended.

😂😂 Neil Young!

LeahBergen What a jerk. 😂😂 7y

rabbitprincess @LeahBergen The best part about the story is that if you somehow missed hearing who it was, you could still make a reasonable guess 😂😂 7y

LeahBergen As the “anytime in the past four decades” comment proves. 😂 7y

Thought-provoking, interesting, educating, well-written and generally entertaining -- Timekeepers really covers all the bases and covers them well. You'd do well to check it out.
