"The Absolute Book" by Elizabeth Knox. I got it for Christmas. It was delightful, even if maybe some stuff wasn't explained completely. Or maybe that's part of why it was delightful.
"Crucial conversations" By Joseph Grenny and three other old white men. Another office book club selection. The word "candor" comes up a lot. I really resented this book.
LHC #220: "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt. There was a girl at my previous company who wanted to have an office book club, and she had this book on her desk for months and months. I can totally understand this. I found portions crazy stressful to read. Like, I would be skipping ahead to see how much more in the section, could I get through it, pacing around, etc. I wanted to know how it ended, sure, but I was having weird stress dreams and stuff. If it wasn't a library book I might not have finished it at all. It was such a relief when Boris showed up again and something happened. I didn't hate it, I just wished it was about 30% shorter.
LHC #221: "Slow Horses" by Nick Herron. I got invited to the office Food Bank Farm adventure, which is 4 hours from me, and I needed an audiobook for that drive, and this was available. It wasn't until I opened the book on a computer later that I realized it was divided into chapters. It might have helped me if chapters were indicated in the audio, because the hardest part to follow was every time a POV shift occurred. Strange choice.
