Welcome to Litsy!

A short audiobook on caffeine. Gives an introduction to the world of coffee and tea and how they have changed the modern world.

This was a short, informative listen. I really enjoyed his voice and insight on how caffeine works and feels. I would never myself give up my beloved addiction, but it's interesting to hear someone else do it :)

Well, that was an interesting listen. Lol!
I decided to go with the route of listening to a book today while doing some chores. This one has my attention and even intrigued my family as they would come in or even pass by my room.
A good listen to make time go by faster! Just like caffeine! :))

🎧 I LOVE Coffee! Listening to this very interesting book while doing chores. It discusses the influences of caffeine through history. It also includes information about an experiment between bees and caffeinated nectar/flowers. #listening #audiobook

I had hoped to finish all the books I had started in 2020 before January 4th but, I never seem to make that goal!

Working through my audio books this week and had almost forgotten this one! Being a coffee addict, I find this horribly interesting so far.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This quick #AudibleOriginal was a fine way to start my day. And lots of coffee, naturally. Caffeine is the world‘s most widely consumed psychoactive drug. Pollan takes a look at how it affects our daily lives while providing a brief history of caffeinated beverages and their influences on society. Pair this with AJ Jacobs‘s gratitude journey, Thanks a Thousand, where he pays homage to everyone who has a hand in the coffee making process.

I never realized how complicate coffee is and has been in the past. #nfn2020

November Book 9/25 #LitsyLove

Very interesting.

Short interesting listen. Especially enjoyed history of tea vs coffee. Also I'm justifying my love of tea. It has less caffeine than coffee! ☕

An enjoyable shorter audible about one of my favorite things ☕

The social/political history of coffee is fascinating! #mtTBR

This was a shorter audio book and it was really interesting. I love the way Michael Pollan writes. He takes something that could easily be pretty dry and keeps it engaging. I will be honest- this did make me rethink my caffeine habit- but I have yet to make any real changes.

I finally started this March Audible freebie. It was okay. I enjoyed the history of tea & coffee and the science bits. But I disliked his narrative on his personal caffeine-free experience. I get that he was trying to draw parallels between his experience & the science, but it didn‘t work for me. A few personal anecdotes work okay, but he went on a bit too long for my taste.

late post...yay readathon done wahoo...so fitting for the last stretch of the #stayhome24in48 #readinggoal #readinglife #audiophile the author takes an on a journey through the history of the most used drug in the world & what a journey it was

This was suuuuuper interesting, especially as someone with a caffeine intolerance. I‘ll likely listen to this a few times, it was packed full of interesting tidbits.

This book is delightful and educational! I love the author‘s voice, written and oral. He clearly had a lot of fun writing this and it makes for a refreshing and quick read. I‘m a lifelong admitted and shamefully dependent caffeine addict who just last year started to significantly scale back. I‘m with the author on this one—I use it as a tool and indulge on occasion because I enjoy the experience. This read was so fun.
Recommend!

I liked this Audible audiobook. I enjoy Pollan‘s writing style and found this to be informative and interesting. Read by the author.
