I'd genuinely speed it up. I usually do with all audiobooks but that one in particular felt like the narrator spoke suuuper slowly.

Flesh by David Szalay
Surprisingly really enjoyed it. I thought this gave a uniquely male perspective into how a man probably thinks though you don't really get to experience much of it because the main character is basically cardboard
I was weirdly invested but also got to a point in the book where reading another shallow conversation followed by "okay" made me roll my eyes, flip through the pages and spoil myself a major plot point

Ha. I had it added to my Amazon wish list, read a review slating it and deleted it from my list. And now I’m wondering if I should add it again
does it give American psycho vibes?I wouldn't say so but then I didn't enjoy American Psycho when I read it but I suppose in a way that everyone feels shallow, including the main character yes? -Ha.

It's quite difficult to explain but it's a bit like the author writing some facts about events that happen, there's not much character to anyone in the book, but I think that's partly because the main characters thought process seems to boil down to "okay whatever". You'll occasionally get something with a bit more meat to it but it's very brief

I’m not buying it! Freida/Sara might be the front but you can’t convince me that there aren’t loads of ghost writers in the background churning those books out.how can an ACTUAL BRAIN DOCTOR write that many books a year, i’m fascinated
SAME!! like, are we expected to believe she’s chucking this much content out inbetween casual brain surgery consultations?!
By not being very good at either job.how can an ACTUAL BRAIN DOCTOR write that many books a year, i’m fascinated
for the sake of her patients i hope she’s at least a little bit better at the brain surgery part
I just got approved for this book and I’m so excited. I’ve been seeing it everywhere and now I get to read it for free

Netflix are adapting East of Eden!
To my great shame, I’ve never actually read it, even though it’s often named the favourite book of many I admire.

Physiatrists are medical doctors too. It seems like she specialises in brain disorders and still works once or twice a month, per this Times article: https://archive.ph/erubX
Me neither - although I did recently buy it with the intention of reading it before the adaption. It’s also on the Goodreads bookmark challenge (the long books one - marathon reader?!) so think it might finally be time for me to pick it up! Pretty confident it’s the kind of book I’ll really like too!
I didn't like East of Eden, it was a DNF.
I found it boring, predictable and twee.it’s SUCH a wonderful book, i love it so much. florence pugh is MADE for that role too.
Hands down one of my favourite books of all time. I love Steinbeck in general but this is his best.
It’s been a while since I last read it so I am planning a re-read before watching the Netflix version, but there’s a part of me that’s a bit nervous in case it doesn't stand up to my memory of it. Is that weird?!
Yes I believe it’s Florence Pugh! Funnily enough my library emailed me today to say a copy is waiting for me!
also, I’ve heard great things about The Road to Tender Hearts!
Aye, they are absolutely medical doctors, I didn't mean to imply she wasn't. Just that she would have had a better work/life balance than an emergency brain surgeon, for anyone questioning their own work ethic
anyone who works two demanding jobs is amazing to me.- Status
