The Found and the Lost: The Collected Novellas of Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin

DID NOT FINISH

DNF

I was listening to an audiobook before bed and it was just too complex for me to comprehend. These are the stories that should be read with care, and thought about after. Probably will try reading physhical book some time.

Agressive delusional arguments from victim mentality. Very disappointing.

Different, Not Less: A neurodivergent's guide to embracing your true self and finding your happily ever after

Chloé Hayden

DID NOT FINISH

DNF

I expected to learn more, get a practical tips and skills how to function in a world and help others. I got over the top dramatic memoar of the actress I never heard of before and wasn't at all interested in. At first I felt really sorry for her, but the victim tone got repetitive. She's still very young, so I don't think I'll listen to her view of the world and life which is not very optimistic. I'm glad she shares her experiences, it's nice and brave and she'll for sure help somebody, especially young people, but it's just not for me.

Laziness Does Not Exist

DNF

First few chapters were kind of interesting, and then information just stopped being applicable to me. I tried reading it as a glance into different perspectives, how other people in different culture live and think, what problems they have, but it was too repetitive and honestly, boring.

Regrettably, I am About to Cause Trouble

Amie McNee

DID NOT FINISH

Unfortunately, this is going to be a DNF for me. The beginning was ok, but I noticed I don't feel like continuing.The tone makes no sense to me, it's like some magical force put modern woman to historical setting, and cranked patriarchy and misoginy to 3000%, but at the same time everything is funny. Combination just doesn't work for me. The feminist message is screaming at my face and I can't take it seriously like that. What happened with subtlety in books??? The idea itself is great, I like that, but the execution is a mess. I'm kinda disappointed cause I've been following Amie for years and I was really looking forward to this.

DNF

Yeah, I'm not going through Covid again and I'm too tired of American politics. Interesting experience of dnfing King for the first time ever, but it's just not for me.

I don't know, it started like some cheap action movie and I just didn't have patience for that. Everything was so over the top. Tried to continue a few times, but it felt like a chore.
