pick

I never fully connected with this story, and I think that‘s largely due to the writing style. The storytelling felt disjointed and lacked a natural flow. The premise was intriguing, but if it hadn‘t been the library‘s book club pick, I probably wouldn‘t have finished it. Book #35 in 2025

TieDyeDude They are so lazy in their racism, they can't even come up with a good excuse. Nothing about "DEI" justifies erasing any mention of the accomplishments of someone who happens to be a person of color. 12h

The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore | Evan Friss

so-so

It‘s not terrible. 🤷 It‘s not so much a history as it is a highlight of bookshops the author found interesting. Not a problem, but some of them were not to me. I also do not like the way certain historic events were worded. Eg. In the chapter about “radical” bookstores, he states that Eugene Debs (an American socialist) went to prison. No context. It makes me wonder about other facts he tossed around.

Back to work today. I almost left without a book and had to just grab one as I was heading out the door. :D Guess I‘ll be reading this next. I cannot read ebooks or audiobooks when students are in the room and I like to set an example of reading for them since many tell me they never read. :( #education
