I LOVED reading as a kid. And into adulthood. But too many hobbies and life get's in the way of really diving in and doing that hyperfocus that makes reading so enjoyabe.
Apologies if I missed it later in the thread but what book is it? Have you started it yet?Yup. Pretty f'ing crazy, eh? Even worse it is non-fiction and not Tolkien or David Foster Wallace.
Any other nutbags like me who like to read books in a world that seems to increasingly hate them
and be content in its shallowness and ignorance??
Oooppps. Was that last bit too much?
I have the same problem. My reading pile has five or six books on it but it takes me close to a year to get through it. As a teenager that would have lasted maybe a week (and been almost entirely over 800 pages each).I LOVED reading as a kid. And into adulthood.

Maybe check a 1,000 page book next?
Shogun by James Clavell
Slow start but fantastic historical fiction.
Rad, I'm going to add that one to my list, thanks la szum!It's Behave, by Robert Sapolosky. Sounds Calvinist, but is a book on evolutionary biology/psychology
from a Stanford Nueroscience Professor who studies Primates in the wild. Ergo, Humans.
Well, I wanted to keep in line with the Marshall series but couldn't think of a good 410, 900, 2000...page book to recommend so I just went with a tried and true novel. :)I knew getting one-upped was just a matter of time. This is a Gear Forum, after all.
This is a true page turner. I’ve read it twice.Maybe check a 1,000 page book next?
