Marcus really doesn't mess around. So far I'm under the impression that dedicate themselves to something in order to make life meaningful, and to disregard all praise or criticisms while in the process. While its values can be a little outdated, the message he conveys holds up so well. It is so brilliantly written (translated?) with his brash, authoritative tone that it is such an interesting read.

On the penultimate chapter, and while I still enjoy reading it - its substance is starting to stretch itself thin. Still, I am taking away things from this personally and will use this stuff in my lifestyle, even if my enjoyment of the book is starting to wane.

After a bit of a lull, this book is actually getting interesting again, actually saying something else besides its usual mantra of "hack down on the unessentials".
Shame I didn't finish it before my book club's discussion, there were some bopping quotes in here that I would like to have mentioned.

I am beginning to fall out of love with this book, where it is starting to repeat the same themes once again just with a different choice of words. It is a book full of highlights and cool quotes, but the sum of its parts does not add up into a read that changes my lifestyle.

Started reading for the thematic book club I'm reading (this month is essays (join if you want to!)), and skipped the introduction and biography to get straight to the essays like a heretic (though I intend to return to the biography to see if I get any relevant context).
