Lånade denna av pappa för en del år sedan. Jag minns specifikt att jag läste i den på första semestern med vår äldsta son i december 2017, så vi uppskattar det som startdatum.

What better time to finally pick up my signed copy of Leeds United writer, podcaster and connoisseur Daniel Chapman's essential book on this fantastic club, than the week in which it again won promotion back to the Premier League after two remarkable seasons under Daniel Farke? MOT.

Was thinking about this book and realized it wasn't imported from my Goodreads account. Very interesting material, and well presented. Happy to recommend.

Third chapter on seasonality was better, and contains interesting stuff. Still, can't help but feel the sharp dismissals of other models are so far contrasted by some pretty vague language for their own observations. It's also really wordy. I'd have liked this on 40-50% the number of words.

The accounts of Native American views on European societies are interesting but the style is grating and confusing and overall the text feels more like a highly political Twitter thread than an intellectual narrative. I hope this changes or it's going to be a long read.

Next effort of the Non-Fiction Book Club.

Really enjoyed the TV series, and have been wanting to get around to reading the books for years. Here we go!

An easy read about dotcom entrepreneurship around the turn of the millennium, and the startup phase of Paypal as a company in particular. Certainly worth a read if the era interests you.

It's worth noting the story essentially only covers the Paypal years and events leading up to them, not the many exploits of the persons involved in the many years that have since passed.

I started the book over a year ago, but kept getting sidetracked with other reading. It was easy enough to get back into though.

Had to put this aside a couple of times for other reading commitments. Let’s see if I can finish it this time around.

To be honest, Elon Musk already occupies enough space in terms of news and attention that I’m somewhat reluctant to add more of him in my mind, but this is a different story, from a different era. So far I’m quite enjoying the book.
