I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I've listened to 67% of the albums. I'm trying to make my brain learn that in this instance, 67% is good. 😂 Interestingly, I've listened to 18 of the top 20 albums. I'm only missing Radiohead and Kanye. I *almost* want to listen to all of the albums from 100 down to 1. Like one a day or something.

These are so much fun! Thanks, @dabbe!

dabbe I know! 67% is EXCELLENT for this challenge! 👏 I listened to 16 of the top 20, but man, from about 100-40, I was like 🤔😳😱! 🤩😂😀 1w

Pickpick

This was a fun book if you're a fan of the show. Porter worked for “New Top Gear“ as the script editor during all the seasons that Clarkson, May, and Hammond were the presenters. The book is roughly linear but divided into very short chapters that each kind of read like their own little essay, so at times it felt a little abrupt, but also meant that it was easy to delve in and out of. As you'd expect, the writing is a bit snarky and entertaining⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Porter presents his coworkers, including the three famous presenters, with a fairly even hand, and the book feels genuinely informative/entertaining and not like its trying to cash in on scandalous memoirs, even when he discusses the abrupt ending of the show (in that incarnation). I'm not British, so some of the references went over my head (TV shows “everyone“ watched or people more famous there than here), but overall this was ⬇ 4w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) readable and enjoyable - if you like the show, you'll probably find this engaging as well.

This was my #BookSpin for April 🎉

InkedBookworm13 This is awesome. I just ordered it for my husband. We used to watch the original Top Gear all the time. 😍 4w
TheAromaofBooks @lil1inblue @InkedBookworm13 - My biggest issue with the book was that Porter seems to assume that I already know who some people are (i.e. famous racecar drivers, actors, British politicians) so some of his stories kind of went over my head. But overall there is a lot of fun stuff here and an interesting perspective. 4w
Jari-chan Oh, we had so much fun with Top Gear 😁 4w
Roary47 I‘ll have to get this for my husband to not read, and then read it for him. 😅 4w

Some pink, a little red and a lot of Public Opinion.

William Lippmann had me agreeing with him until he said, “I argue that representative government, either in what is ordinarily called politics, or in industry, cannot be worked successfully, no matter what the basis of election, unless there is an independent, expert organization for making the unseen facts intelligible to those who have to make the decisions.”
Who chooses these experts? Who?
