Fun, light reading. Loveable characters
Eddie Winston is Looking for LoveA very pleasant light read. It's not overly sentimental, but it does tug the heartstrings.

Struggled with this
The FourSuspend belief because the whole darned thing seems unbelievable to me. Not even teenagers are this dumb. At least, I hope not. Unnecessarily dark and covers topics like sexual abuse, rape, and self harm. As youth fiction, or even adult reading goes, this is not a nice book. But it is beautifully presented and perhaps other people will feel differently. As for me, I finished it, but IMO it's train smash and finishing it was about the same as that dreadful fascination we experience after witnessing a bad accident.
Mind-blowing
Growth Growth GrowthThis may be one of the most important books of the century. Trace the history of the planet and mankind, and discover just why we and our descendants can expect some pretty rough times. It's not cheerful reading, but it's readable all the same: a brilliant book that every person on the planet ought to read.
I loved this book
Vet at the End of the EarthAdventure, remote places, interesting people, even biohazards! This book had all the ingredients I love plus more. Sadly, it won't be a series. This writer is telling his life story all the way to retirement. I was enthralled from page one all the way to the end. Love, love, loved this book!
The Dumb things Smart People Do
The Limits of GeniusReading the introduction is essential to enjoying this book. As the author points out, the only reason why we aren't lambasted for own follies is that we're not recognised geniuses! I found some of the stories to be about lesser-known geniuses, and that was interesting in itself: things like the guy who first noticed a supernova being besotted with a drunken moose and incorrect theory of how the universe works. I will look forward to finishing it - I didn't have time to when I first had it.
