I was an avid reader who fell into the habit of only reading things that were work related and news - then the pandemic hit. That's when my local library that offers eBook loans for download made me realize how much I'd missed reading for enjoyment.

I have a wide range of interests, but I mostly read fiction, sci-fi, historical fiction, history, politics, and pretty much anything that's well written and thought provoking.

K.S. reviewed Paradox of Democracy by Zac Gershberg

Review of 'Paradox of Democracy' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I couldn't get much further than the first quarter. It seemed like the author was saying the same thing over and over in slightly different ways. It's too bad because I think the point being made is a good one.
