Welcome to Litsy!

This is amazingly philosophical. It addresses the neurology behind in-groups and out-groups. It clearly lays out the ways perception is entirely inside of our brains, and even how by the time we are aware of any given moment, that moment has already passed. Eagleman takes a profoundly complex topic and makes it accessible to the masses to the point that it becomes entirely enjoyable.

I don‘t know why, but I‘m feeling this tonight.

I spent over an hour on social media, avoiding this book. When I returned to it, I still just didn‘t care. I just wanted it to be over. Then I realised, I could make it be over right now. So, it‘s over. It‘s not for me. It might be for you. I don‘t know. Maybe it would be for me at a different time. That time is not now, though.

Ugh, can we stop with this BS?! This is doing just as much damage, especially to girls, as the “grit” fad before it. It blames YOU if you fail, never the person teaching you or a source being unclear. You failed, it‘s on you. Try harder. 🙄 This is damaging to girls. It‘s damaging to minorities. Can we just stop this? It breaks my heart that a minority woman trying to encourage women and girls is perpetuating this absolute nonsense.

I feel like it‘s time for this.

This is a far too long, angry diatribe that is very disjoined and poorly organised. Some chapters are all over the place while others have a followable organisation. It is unclear what this author actually believes or is even raging against. It is frustrating to read. I wanted to take her seriously, but after the first few chapters, that was rendered impossible by the book itself, by her own words.

Somehow, listening to Dick Van Dyke read his book is just as calming and soothing as watching him on TV. It must be his voice. There is just something about his general happiness that makes you feel happy, too. He just generally makes you feel like, eventually, everything is going to be alright. That‘s so vital at the moment, the ability to have a little hope.

Okay, now that I‘ve gotten all riled up from my last book, I need some comic relief.

This has been in my library since 2020. It‘s time to actually read it already.

I‘m feeling very much led in this direction this afternoon. I got quite a laugh out of the mental image of Spock as midwife by @Bookwomble . I don‘t think I‘ll be getting that out of my head anytime soon. Also, I have never been more excited for a book read by the author… sorry Wil.
