![]() ![]() Given how slowly I absorb new books, I like them to either be challenging, or a new and informative look at things I just don’t know very much about yet. The reason, I think, is that I sort of felt like it wouldn’t be very interesting, because I’d kind of know and agree with all of it already. I still think I put off reading The Righteous Mind for unusually long, though, given how interesting I find the subject matter. This is to make the point that I’m starting from a low base rate of reading things. I now have to keep telling him that, no, I haven’t listened to any more Genesis or Peter Gabriel since then, but I’m sure I’ll get round to it within the year. It was my first foray into Genesis and I loved it. It was Selling England by the Pound, which he recommended. I’ve listened to one new album this year. Another friend releases Spotify playlists every Friday of the greatest hits from the many new albums he’s listened to that week. ![]() I’ve read one, and it was The Righteous Mind. A friend of mine told me yesterday that he’d read something like 130 new books this year. This was partly because I don’t get through much in the way of new reading material. ![]() I didn’t read The Righteous Mind for a long time after I knew about it. ![]()
