I can't quite fathom how we have only logged two books this year. Born a Crime in January (which I didn't finish) and Persepolis (Which I really liked). I am loving an Unquiet Mind and am really hopeful and committed that we can get back to reading a book every two weeks. I think the Tomato Timer and having broken up with Mary will make this possible.
I already think I am going to rank An Unquiet Mind highly. And bc I am unusually ahead of schedule, maybe I will finish Trever Noah's book while I wait for 10/30 roll around.
HDD: Here are our ratings.
HDD's
Content: 8 [Important content, great academic material and personal stories]
Style: 9 [Crisp, clean, academic, easy to follow, well-organized]
Emotional Impact: 2 [Did not feel connected to the narrator, clinical view, felt removed, I was intellectually interested, but didn't feel touched by the story]
Amy's
Content: 10 [Great mix of professional and personal details]
Style: 10 [Page turner, couldn't put it down]
Emotional Impact: 7.5 [Related on a personal level, felt like I was reading about a mild strain of me]
Bastard Out of Carolina, Dorothy Allison,
