The best books to read this August

I am finding it so repetitive and obnoxious and honestly like a little bit gimmicky that I'm just kind of like, "Oh, okay. We're doing the same bit of >> like we don't understand each other because we're just saying the same thing and not listening. We're doing that bit again."

And just written in that typical Seline style, which does make it enjoyable to read. And a lot of the stuff about his like family's trials and tribulations I do find interesting.

I read a little bit of it and I was like yeah I don't know if this is >> I did as well. >> This is not for me.

I don't know if I'm gonna finish it to be honest because as fantastic as the writing is, it's just so rudderless as a [snorts] narrative.

She's like, you know, kind of the like typical existential housewife who has come to hate her life. And this like creature that is created from the toxic sludge escapes this factory and like becomes her friend. >> Interesting. >> Which I wasn't like blown away by it, but again, it's a cool little book.

I've got about 75ish pages left and now I surrender. >> Mhm. >> By Alvaro Enrique, which I'm really enjoying.

And I didn't even dislike that book. I just said that people talked about it like it's the greatest war memoir. Certainly the best World War I >> memoir. And I didn't think it was fine.

He spoke very highly of Ubi by Philip K. Dick. So I went out and got that. I read it and I loved it.

But I actually read the first chapter of this the other day. , and I liked it.

It was like h let me grab War by Seline off the shelf. It's short, >> right? >> I'll just give it a rip. liked it enough.

We both read that and liked it.

Like I thought it was a good book, but I wasn't blown away by it.
