I just finished reading this for a Comp II class and now I have to write a research paper on it.

I didn't really take much away from the book, which is strange, because I've been told how profound it is and whatnot. Maybe I need to read it again.

How is it? Insightful at all? Or just same generic bullshit every famous person's biography contains?

Currently reading "Those Guys Have All The Fun" The story of ESPN.

Second time through, but haven't read it since it came out. Was good the first time, hope to pick some new things up/remember more of it.

[MDPrompter]

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Pretty fantastic read about the origin of Sapiens, cultural, religion, economics, etc.

[ExistenceNow]

Finished Mountain Shadow. Reading a new Grisham for something lighter and it's this odd like collection of short stories. It's bad. Feels like he slapped it together in one night, put a hardcover on it and called it a day.
