[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished listening to Naomi Klein's Doppelganger (re: the confusion between her and Naomi [i]Wolf[/i], particularly online).  It seemed to encompass many subjects I personally would be primed to like--the influence of social media, conspiracy culture, two authors I had read--but I was underwhelmed.  It was pretty good, but there was not much meat on the bones, and probably would have been better as e.g. a long-form article in the New Yorker.

Close to finishing Nathan Hill's Wellness. It is well done and just bitingly funny in parts, but the genre of "marriage falling apart" is one of my least favorites and it is always a bit dreary IMHO. We'll see if it turns it around in the last 75 pages...!

And about to start Empire of Gold. Feeling excited and bittersweet. It is the third book of SA Chakraborty's City of Brass trilogy, which has been so good, and fun, and immersive. But it's the last one... and then I'll be bereft and turning to DCUM I guess for my next great rec![/quote]

Did you end up finishing Wellness? I was thinking about starting it but it is LONG.[/quote]

DP.  I wanted to like Wellness so much, but didn't.  I actually like the "long term marriage is hard" genre, but this was so slow, too much backstory, too many pages.[/quote]
