Personal efficiency expert Oskar Eklind once again honors us with his presence! This time he talks about something that I hear people mention quite often; not reading as much anymore.

Why do we stop reading, when does it happen, and how can we pick it back up again? These and more questions we cover in this great interview episode.

Thanks for taking the time Oskar; it feels so nice to get an expert's perspective.

If you are curious about Oskar and his personal efficiency coaching, his podcast or his news letter you can find more information on his webpage.

This was not the best book for me. I don't love the genre, and I can't say much in this novel made me care. Writer Patricia Wolf does something pretty strange considering this is supposed to be a thriller. It's fine for what it is, but I have a lot of fun breaking this one down; I hope you have as much fun listening to it!

We had to dig deep for this episode, but it was a lot of fun even if it was a bit more work, and I think it turned out pretty well too. I hope that it feels worthwhile for you, my dear listener, and don't hesitate to reach out with questions.

Huge thanks to Nina Tegar for supplying some of the spine for the episode.

What an absolute surprising delight this book was! I had no idea, but I more than get into it in the episode =)

What Is Purple Prose? Well, that's what we are here to figure out! The TL;DR: it's overly descriptive prose and writing that tries to be poetic or sound nice, but more likely just drags and bores you.

The five-star-legend is back! God, I love this old bastard; here's another Orwell review coming at you.

Also, I say hello out of form in this episode. If you noticed, and you hate it; I did too. We'll have to yell at me, you and I.

A classic episode with some tangents and frustrated energy. All in good fun, but I had some major issues with the fundamental story in this novel; it just does not make sense which is a shame considering Lynch's pretty solid writing overall.
