Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond

I started it mid-2018 and finished it in April 2020. I had only read about 1/4 of it but then in March 2020 all of a sudden I had a lot of time on my hands. Great read!

I’m reading Demon Copperhead. 600 hundred pages long and it is sagging. I want to quit! I can’t bare to read it anymore, I don’t care about Demon. Too much internal dialogue and not enough plot.

It's hard to know where to start.



Where to start what? Reading "longish" books? Or just plain reading? Read what you like -- what I like (literary fiction and pop cnf) isn't necessarily going to be what you like.

I find lately that I wish most books were shorter/better edited. What’s a medium or longer book that’s worth the time.
