Second this, Metamorphosis is a good quick read and was also my introduction to Kafka.

Should I finish tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow? (no spoilers)
One of the hardest things I've ever had to learn as a reader is when to abandon a book. But you must. You won't read all the books you want to because there is not enough time. Life's too short to be struggling through a book you aren't enjoying.

What are you reading this week? [July 3-July 9, 2023]
I have been reading The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East by Nicholas Morton which I am really enjoying. Nicholas has a clear way of describing events and putting them into context without getting too dry with it. I am also reading A Vast Conspiracy: The inspiration for Impeachment by Jeffrey Toobin which I am a little over half way into, but I am considering just giving up. I have been pecking away at this book for probably 2 months now. It's just too long winded. I don't need to know every single conversation, meeting, plot, dinner that people had - I feel this would have made an incredible long-form article in something like the New Yorker but a multi hundred page book seems to be pushing it for me.

I scanned the entire "Seinfeld Yearbook" that was handed out to the cast and crew at the finale party in 1998. Only 350 were produced and includes amazing behind-the-scenes photos and stories. Enjoy!!
This is such a cool thing to have. Did you buy this or did you work on the show?

So what's everyone reading this week?
I am finally working my way through Sandman, i'm on book 6 now. I do find myself enjoying this one a little less than the others.

I only read Animal Farm for the first time a few months ago and I really wish I had read it earlier. It was a pretty quick read and its something that will stay with me. Nineteen Eighty Four is one of my favourite books and and something I always encourage people to read.

Robert Jenrick has cartoon murals painted over at children’s asylum centre
I don't believe for one second any citizen believes this is a good use of time or resource. Absolutely ridiculous.

it is! I am only about 20 or so pages in so far but I am feeling a bit lost. It just seems completely disjointed from what I have read so far. For a few pages I was wondering if I had somehow got the books out of order.

Where do you read books reviews?
I read new york times reviews, other than that I don't really read any. I certainly agree good reads are not reliable.

He reminds me of the newspaper vendor in watchmen. His opinion flim flaming depending on what is on the front page that morning. I'm not convinced he's not basically playing a character at this point.
