People, I am begging you, please read faster! 😭

Nine days later, only one thing is sure. SF fans read a whole lot faster than you f'ing sociologists.
… delete ā€œwhole lotā€ and replace with very slightly. 😳
@peterbutler What a wait list! So glad I have accounts at 3 different library systems.
@Nonya_Bidniss I’m lucky to have a great local library. Each of us gets to check out 75 (!) books at a time with, most importantly, no late fees. (I’m not a scofflaw but the quarters and 50 cents for a day or two late adds up quickly.)
@peterbutler hope you’ve got to the Jenny Odell by now, but if not, what a preface!

@nic I took advantage of a local bookstore (Alexander’s on 2nd St. in SF) closing to pick up my own copy for 50% off

It was harder to get into than How to Do Nothing but also excellent

@peterbutler I just finished How to Do Nothing in the early hours of this morning, so this is going on my Christmas wishlist!
@peterbutler I just got the print copy of that Jenny Odell book and I want to read it slowly, But usually I am the superfast reader ;)

@mtechman I took advantage of one of my favorite bookstores closing 😭 to buy the hardcover for 50% off

It was a lot harder for me to get into compared to How to Do Nothing, but there’s some great stuff in there. It’s a good idea to take it slow

@peterbutler now I want both titles! Putting them on my birthday wish list.
