Stees, have you had a chance to read during the holidays?

A bit yes but if the truth be known I am struggling with "The History of Bees."

Oh dear, well in that case, just leave it. There were tedious parts in the beginning of the story but if you feel you're not getting anywhere with it, give it back to the library and get an interesting book.

I am not one to give up...on anything so I will persevere. 🙂

Hope you will find it worthwhile - I think you might. I have no other suggestions at the moment.

Sometimes it takes a "few" pages to get into a book. The only one, thus far, I tried for about 100 pages (twice) was The Life of Pi and I just couldn't complete it.

Sometimes you have to get the feel for the people involved, get to know them, and that can take timebut once you have connected, it gets more interesting.

I just finished reading John McEnroe's recent book "But Seriously". It's an excellent read and I recommend it highly, even if you're not a tennis player.

Not reading anything at the moment, but I'm about to sink my teeth into some books on ketogenic diets.

I am going to read Yuval Noah Narari's 'Homo Deus'. I did plan to read it on my trip to Papua in October but I ended up not even laying a finger on it. I should probably read Sapiens first, but I haven't come across it here.
