Food for thought
The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too) - Gretchen Rubin

Yes it's a bit simplistic and reductive but it also is quite logical. Some people are more motivated by outer accountability and some by inner and some are a mix and others reject your reality.

 

I found it somewhat fascinating and the biggest thing to come out of it is that people think differently and work differently and you have to accomodate that in work and home.

 

And for the record I'm an Obliger

Week 4 of 2017
Fer-de-Lance - Rex Stout,Loren D. Estleman
Shouldn't You Be in School? - LemonySnicket
Paper Moon - Joe David Brown,Peter Bogdanovich
Calvin and Hobbes: There's Treasure Everywhere - Bill Watterson
The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes - Bill Watterson

Books Read: 5

 

 

"Shouldn't You Be in School": This is the third book in the All the Wrong Questions series. 4 stars

 

Paper Moon: The back of the copy I have compares this with To Kill a Mockingbird, they're not in the same league at all. I found the characters extremely annoying and the book wondered all over until the last couple of chapters. The ending itself was unsatisfying and I really wouldn't recommend this. 2 1/2 stars

 

There's Treasure Everywhere and The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes: I don't have much to say about these two, it's Calvin and Hobbes. 4 stars

 

Fer-De-Lance: Nero Wolfe ranks up there with Sherlock Holmes and Flavia for me. The books are dated and I found myself cringing at some of the comments made throughout, but I still love them. 4 stars.

 

Total Read for the Month: 12

 

I'm doing good so far this year and I'm on schedule, a little ahead in fact to complete 100 books this year.

‘Indispensable.’ It was a word people tended to resort to when dispensability was in the air.

Overall 4.5 Stars, Buy it

 

Star Rating Art: 5 Stars

Star Rating Story:  4 Stars

 

Self purchase for kindle.

 

Awesomeness, especially if you have a young child almost the age of Calvin. Man do I love the ones where Hobbes tackles Calvin. Hobbes is too darned cute for words. Wish I had money so I could get a Calvin and Hobbes Tattoo.

 

Overall, I felt like the strips in this collection were not nearly as good as the ones in the previous collections for kindle. Too many dinosaur and spaceman spiff ones. I also am not a fan of when the cartoonist puts in huge amounts of dialogue.  Of course this still goes under treasured because how can you not love Calvin and Hobbes?  I believe this is the last of collections but I have kindle individual books that I think are not part of the 3 treasuries.  So happy I finally finished this!!!
