Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.
This is a strange book. It's had some interesting moments so far, but the self-indulgently cynical, world-weary tone the narrator has adopted is putting me off. Plus the international espionage-like plot is boring.
It might be a struggle to get to my 50 page minimum before I can decide to DNF.
