I closed this book for good at the bit where the main character is told to stop reading what she’s reading and read Mein Kampf instead.

I have recovered well from the anvil injury to my cranium.

Not a big-name film, but the adaptation of Disobedience is certainly superior to the very average novel that its source material, and unusually, much more subtle, making changes that are a significant improvement.

I knew someone who claimed to be a “speed reader”; also being someone who would frequently read books two or three times.

I very very rarely reread a book, unless it’s amazing, as I tend to recall what happens, so it’s a bit of a boring exercise usually.

It turns out this person didn’t remember very many details of the books she “read” and was evidently just skimming them to the end to be able to say she had “read” them. These kinds of showoffs are so boring.

I would ask this person directly not to reveal details of the plot as people naturally read at different paces or might have other priorities this particular week, and it’s for discussing at the club itself.
