i don't always love the micro history approach but i do think it's extremely effective here
Nonfiction November 2020 TBR + Recommendations
this was written by the author of being mortal which is one of my all-time favorite nonfiction books
thor hansen is one of my very favorite nature writers all of his books are so entertaining and this one is no exception
it is a very niche subject but it is so well researched and in my opinion perfectly executed
i think about this book all the time it gave me a whole new appreciation for checklist not just as time-saving instruments but also as fuel to become more productive
i never thought i could be so enthralled by a sports biography but this one totally sucked me in i love the way that the author crafts this narrative
it is much more a book about this man his time period and his method of going about cracking the code than it is about the hieroglyphs themselves but it is a very interesting story nonetheless
it's a charming little book that i really enjoyed
i absolutely loved this book i actually gave it a review here on my channel right after i read it
