Haha, true! Ik kon niet wachten. Maar: dit was slechts deel 1 van de vijfdelige trilogie. De andere delen liggen nog klaar, dus wie weet lees ik er een daarvan - en misschien zelfs wel deel 3 - in die week 🤓

Thanks - in truth, I had no idea about Jameson.
Robinson may himself be no engineer, but he definitely seems to have done some thorough research and curating (or so I think, being a layperson in this discipline myself).

‘Why were we talking like this?!’

19/52 ★☆☆☆☆

Did not finish - I just couldn't find the patience to find the story amidst all the fragments.

Thanks for this. It feels a bit harsh to rate a book so badly, but if a book doesn't work for a reader, then so be it. I guess it didn't help that I did not have the faintest idea who the author was 🫣
Your description is pretty much spot on, I think. Too many books to read (I saw your 1,000 recommendations - very glad to have already read some) 😝 to continue in one that's mostly annoying.

@pascaline
It definitely sounds like you made the right choice to quit reading that one. I too have gotten rid of books that I felt were not all that. My shelves are like trophy cases: there's only room for what is absolutely worthwhile (ok, for those and for my tsundoku - of which I don't know yet, but hope, I will like them 😊 )
