Started reading A Hologram for the King a couple of days ago. I didn’t care for the curt writing at the beginning but kept with it and I’m glad I did. (Funny because my writing has a tendency towards short sentences as well. Never thought I’d see someone write even shorter sentences in such quantity but here it is.) Humorous, easy read with short chapters. Interesting construction with flashbacks and inner dialogue appearing out of, seemingly, nowhere which might annoy some readers but I like a bit of chaos in narratives. #books #bookstodon

I'm pretty sure that I read this before I began tracking my reading, and I was underwhelmed. I have mixed results with reading Eggers, but I still give 5 stars to A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, his memoir of life as a very young guardian to his younger brother.

#AmReading@EllenInEdmonton That sounds interesting. I’ll have to give it a look. I’ve never read him before. I’m trying to expand my reading choices by picking up random books n various genres. I read too many Canadian women and I want to branch out a little and see how other people write.

Haha, I get that! After George Floyd's murder, I determined to read at least 1/2 of my books written by folks with other backgrounds and heritages than mine. It's made for a very interesting selection of reading material. Previously, I read a lot of straight, white men and books about British royalty. -
