I had a friend / coworker recommend My Year of Rest and Relaxation. some time later I asked wtf? apparently she hadn’t read it, she’d just heard it recommended herself
I did not enjoy that book. I did not find it restful or relaxing to read, on the contrary it was stressful to read.
Me to everyone who ever recommended “the 5 am club”
All I need to do with that book is read the title and I know that the author is not responsible for small children.
Either that or it’s a book about small children.
this seems a relevant link
Wow that makes me feel old
I mean, I thought I’d enjoy it. I already do get up at 5am
and I like business and self help type non fiction on my walks. No my friends. No. It’s weird hyperbolic fictional characters and was literally so intolerable I couldn’t make it past the first hour. Awwwwwwful.
I loved that book. But it’s definitely a wild read! Deeply uncomfortable.
