What are you reading?

I'm going into the book (it's only six hours) unencumbered by what the movie did to it.

Vance seems to be an interesting dude.
Raised up in Blue Collar 'merica.
Went into the green machine as a recruit and came out a little over four years later as an E4.
Doesn't make much of his military gig even though he was a combat vet by DOT standards.
Picked up a poly-sci and philosophy degree and got a JD as a Yaile.

Don't know what kind of investment banker or sheister he is or how good a Cpl he was, although I'm pretty sure somebody will remember something about their primary grade-school history and note that Adolph was a lance-corporal (Gefreiter) and JD was a corporal and make the usual leaps over the usual canyons.

JD is 39.
Ten years older than a certain POTUS was when HE was elected as a Senator.
That means that JD is just NOW starting to figure out a thing or two about a thing or two.

Meanwhile....I'm just reading the bliipin book.
You can tell a lot about how a person thinks by listening to them speak for 6+ hours.
Warren read her book to me.
So did P44, IIRC.
And P39.
And others.

SOME people don't even write their own book OR narrate them.
Others try to narrate a book that they didn't write that has their name on the cover and we find out all kinds of groovy stuff (like - they should not be proof readers.....or politicians.)

 

I’ve heard of this most of my life, and found it at the dump.
50 pages in, so so.
Hoping it gets better, just life in prison so far

 

Huh. Never saw the film.
