@britt Heh. I’m exactly the opposite. Brains are definitely fascinating weirdos. 😊

@britt I'll suggest his Norse Mythology for you, then. It's pretty much a direct translation of the central myths so the book has chapters that are self-contained which keeps things moving. At least for my poor attention span.

@britt Because I loved the film so much, I tried reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman and I couldn't get into it at all because of his writing style. Stuff has to be written in a pretty straightforward way or it doesn't jive with my brain.

@cheekanzoop that’s one of the books I tried! Thank you, I’m glad I’m not alone.

@britt ...I'm going to use this toot as an awkward opportunity to plug my non-fiction book! It's a pretty quick read and I'm proud of it :)

@britt but I think you should read what you want, not what you think you should

Have you ever read any Dr Ben Goldacre? "Bad Science" is very interesting.

@kinsale42 thanks for sharing your story with me, super relatable. I’ll check out Bad Science, I’m always looking for something new to help me learn things :)
