Crux Review

Title: CruxAuthor: Ramez NaamDate Purchased: 1/4/2014 Price Paid: $1.99Date Finished: 12/8/2020Rating: 3/5 I have never been able to read multiple books at once. I don’t mean like at the same time, but if I’m reading a book I need to finish it before I start another. There is a little bit of flex if they are of totally different genres, otherwise I run the danger […]

Exploring Rule Three

Here I am, one book into my endeavor, and I already find myself pondering my rules. Many of the books I’ve purchased were on sale, so I usually had a “well, it’s only a buck” state of mind. This was partially responsible for a backlog of 171 books, and odds are that they aren’t all winners. Which leads me to think a lot about Rule […]

How am I feeling about jumping in to this book? These posts will also give me a chance to update you on the progress […]
