Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World by Simon Winchester

informative reflective slow-paced

2.5

Very interesting topic. I enjoyed the first half and then it sort of seemed to lose direction and became a bit of a random sprawling meander through land-related topics. I really started to lose interest in the last quarter - I was listening to the audiobook and zoned out so much while it was on that this should probably be a DNF. I think some portion of that is more to do with me just being in a bit of a reading rut in general rather than a problem with the book. But I can only go off my experience of it.

Side note: the audiobook was narrated by the author, who had an *ahem* interesting pronunciation of coelicum. If you're pretentious enough to put latin in your book, might be worth checking how to pronounce it before recording the audiobook 😅
