pickI love seafaring books, and this is a non-fiction must read for the seafaring reader. It explains wonderfully and masterfully a complex topic in a very “smooth” voice that doesn‘t assume that you either know all or can‘t understand the concept that the sea is made of water. If you find clocks confusing, there is an illustrated edition under the title “The Illustrated Longitude”.
so-soI thought it was perfectly competent, but I had zero interest in continuing on to the follow ups. It‘s a good enough read, so read it if it is intriguing. I just read all I cared to, and it was good while it lasted.
I am terrible about arriving for job interviews on time (Spoiler: I have been five hours early for one before). Might as well start a new book from a TV series that is subjectively enjoyable.
I‘ve always thought that Wild Cards was way more compelling than A Song of Ice and Fire, mostly because there‘s not a need to worldbuild so much. Post-WWII onwards includes 100% of our and our parents‘ lifetimes, after all. Also, Wild Card books are short story collections, so if you‘re not into one of the stories, you can skip ahead to another premise.
Fun fact: Wheaties used to have ~25% of the cereal market in the USA.
