I am giving up on this book. I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. I was going to try to make it to page 50, but this is just pure torture. Life's too short

This book is fantastic. I am slowly making my way through it with one of my hospice patients. He's enjoying it as well and I'm thrilled that he wanted to read it

Lisa is 28% done with How Georgia Became O'Keeffe: Lessons On The Art Of Living
This book is awful. Her informal tone and personal interjections are ruining whatever biography she is trying to write. Don't bother with his one!

This is going to be a slow one, because I am reading it aloud as part of a volunteer service project. I'm mortified to say I've never read it before. So far, so good!

I am slogging through this horrible boring story. Trying to finish it for book club tomorrow. It would have been better as just a chapter in a history book.

Lisa is on page 112 of 352 of The Quantum Moment: How Planck, Bohr, Einstein, and Heisenberg Taught Us to Love Uncertainty
Pretty technical intense, and some of it I admit I don't understand, but the explained cultural ramifications of the quantum revolution are very interesting.

This book is fascinating! For anyone who is interested in ballet, that is. What perfect timing.

Warning: do not waste your hard earned money on this festering turd of a novel. All of the original subtlety, creativity and innovation of the trilogy has been lost. About 30 new characters have been introduced, but mentioned so briefly I can't keep track of them. Lisbeth Sallander is described as "a punk girl who wears black and has nice tits." Save your money and just reread the original trilogy.

Pretty disappointed so far. Lagercrantz doesn't have nearly the intellectual chops that Larsson did. Most people will probably love this but if you care about well written books and good literature you will be disappointed too.

She's back!!! Wonderful! We are now back to being fantasy BFFs. I can't stop laughing. She is the wittiest writer I've ever read.

Told from the perspective of a German citizen, so a little different from most WWII stories.
