I really do love this book. I do struggle with some version of readers FOMO though. Whenever I start a really long and intense book, I sometimes struggle to enjoy the journey vs. just thinking about how long it will take me to get to the end. I guess I'm always thinking in the back of my mind, how many other books I want to read. Excited about what I might want to start next. I suppose it's a symptom of the larger struggle to be present and enjoy whatever I'm doing right now, instead of living in the past or future.
However, this is a good book for that. Even though it's long, it's so engaging and rich. I'm excited to start the LBJ books this week.
Yeah man the FOMO is real. I am telling myself that it’s ok to take as long as I need on this one. I can mark it up, take notes, look things up that I don’t get, and have fun spending time with it.
And in parallel I can listen to whatever book I want on audio. I just cant bring myself to listen to this out of another form of fomo that I’ll miss out on a rich detail.
