@khemaridh@ankitshah Replies here will have selection bias. Few will write in to admit that their marriage is currently worse than ever, as that’s an admission that’s hard to make in public.
@ethanard@stephsmithio@calvin_rosser Yes, very very good. Also Song of Achilles by the same author. And Piranesi, for a similar vibe and excellent audio production.
@4484@stephsmithio@calvin_rosser It’s even better in my experience. Also, you retain 0% of the books you don’t read. Better to consume audio than nothing at all.
@stephsmithio@calvin_rosser I consumed over 200 audiobooks last year and the best were: I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy, Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan, An Immense World by Ed Yong, The Candy House by Jennifer Egan, A Calling for Charlie Barnes by Joshua Ferris… more recs if you want em
@GTSchutz Yeah Shuggie was so good. I like that approach of breaking it down into different components. That tripartite structure works for fiction but not nonfiction (no characters to develop) so I use a more simple star rubric: 1=bottom 1%, 5=top 1%, 3 = average.
