I've heard the audiobook is weird because the passages are so short. I read the paperback. It was great.

5th Book of the Year: This is Strategy by Seth Godin So, I must confess, I'm a Godin-ite. I've read every book he's written. This one felt like a summary of his ideas in a lot of ways. It reads like a daily devotional. I'd recommend reading it slow, a few passages a day.

4th Book of the year: Solar Lottery by Philip K Dick It was amazing. It's a huge epic with all the PKD futurist weird bits. I love how PKD does world building. He doesn't explain anything until he absolutely has to and then only in context of a scene. And even though its sci-fi, its all dialogue.

Those that know me, know that Dr. King is my personal hero and I wrestle deeply with his teachings. I hope you will grapple with him as well this week. Most of us have heard "I Have a Dream." Here are some of my favorites in this thread (?) Jet Stream (?) Chemtrail (?) (not sure what to call it).

3rd Book of 2025: Joyful Recollections of Trauma by @paulscheer.com Great engaging memoir. Do the audio book because there are extras from the podcast. Both funny and heart warming. A great picture of a person who survived and came out the other end of trauma evolved and smiling. Super recommend.

2nd Book of 2025: Rejection by @tonytula.com This book is a collection of short stories from different POVs. Sexual content is a hard R (and not the fun kind). It's the best ending of a book I've read in a long time and the POV voices are amazing. I really recommend this one for every writer.

Jeff Elkins (Dialogue Doctor) @jeffelkins.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

I set a goal for myself to read a book a week this year. 1st Book of 2025: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar Loved the writing. Beautifully built book. The transition between POVs was great. Didn't love the main character. He was tough to read.

Of course, the second that character was introduced I thought, "Id totally murder this one for emotional effect." Which should be no surprise to you as you write with me.🤣 Also, can we kill Bob on NRSD?
