Welcome to Litsy!

The problem with this book is that it is extremely well written but utterly boring.
Every morning the narrator gets up before dawn to drink a cup of coffee and reflect on the banal every day things that happen to him in his journal. That's it.

Part introspective, charming, and wise ... the daily routine of waking up, starting a fire, and thinking out loud to yourself is therapeutic. But I felt like it never went anywhere. It was just a minutiae carousel that goes round and round until you end up realizing, isn't going anywhere. The parts that are good are enjoyable, but overall, not for me.

If you judge a book by its cover you may miss the opportunity to read a really great book. In my case, sometimes if you judge a book by its cover you may end up picking a book that is totally not right for you. This is the first time I‘ve bailed on a book but I just couldn‘t find an overall purpose or meaning for this one. Have any of you read this before?

12.4.18 I‘ve never actually bailed on a book before. But after 140 pages and not one impression of a plot or purpose I ditched this book. It seemed like more of an uninteresting personal journal to me.

11.23.18 Browsed the ever growing shelves at goodwill last week and came out with a few goodies! This book has been on my TBR for a while and I got it for $1!
