How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You
by Matthew Inman
Mildly amusing. Slightly offensive. It was ok. I smirked a few times.
This was part of my Dewey‘s reading list fron the past weekend. I managed to double-book myself again. Met a friend on Saturday for breakfast and another on Sunday for a small hike. Despite all that I managed to read/listen for 9 hours and 25 minutes. Eye-reading was only 283 pages, the rest was audio.
Just in case you don’t know yet, Dewey‘s is a 24-hour-readathon, usually on a weekend in April and another one in October…? August? Anyway… This time it was 2pm on Saturday to 2pm on Sunday CET. There is also a reverse readathon with different hours, usually starting at 8am CET. Yes, I do sleep at night, there is no way that I can read for 24 hours and then function in the days afterwards.
My reading list for April 2024 Deweys:
Finished:
– The Godbreaker, audible—finished in Hour 21. The review went online yesterday.
– The Walking Dead, Vol. 25: No Turning Back, eComic—finished in Hour 4. The review went online 2 days ago.
– How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You, eComic—finished the last few pages after the readathon.
Also read/listened:
– The Water Outlaws, ebook, read 11%-18%. Struggling to make progress!
– The Heartbeat of the Universe: Poems from Asimov’s Science Fiction and Analog Science Fiction and Fact 2012–2022, ebook, read 43%-49%. Another one that is not going easily.
– The Murder of Mr. Ma, started this audio in Hour 21. A re-telling of Arthur Conan Doyle‘s The Sign of the Four with a Chinese twist. So far, so good. Not terribly exciting, but solid.
