hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see
just finished two books today: I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer and The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time: The Arctic Mission to the Epicenter of Climate Change. i have concluded that i dislike most true crime and that i mostly derive amusement from such books because they display how incompetent a lot of cops are. i would recommend The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time if you would like to know about what it takes to do a scientific mission in the Arctic
I finished the book on Endurance by Alfred Lansing which was pretty amazing. TGPEoAT sound pretty cool, will definitely be checking it out :) Thank you. Have you read In Cold Blood (?) by Truman Capote which is supposed to have basically started true crime as a genre?
no, already have a huge backlog (400+, even at a pace of 40 books a year) so i have no idea when i’d get to it either lol
Lol I know what you mean. Looking at my audiobook catalogue gives me anxiety sometimes 🤣
I’ve read In Cold Blood for school in high school junior year. WOW that was a good and heart-wrenching book.
It was, but not just that I’ve read somewhere that the book managed to influence the jury who was hearing the case because it was so popular.
