Summer read cont.d
Wake Up- Piers Morgan
I’m not necessarily a fan of Piers Morgan, but if you only ever read or listen to the views that you agree with then you only serve to reinforce your own ideas I guess and could arguably be accused of not being open/ available to others opinions and experiences. To have a reasonable argument you need to be able to listen and try to understand all viewpoints. And with the mindset that everyone is interesting and that even a broken clock is correct twice a day I read it.
It’s Piers ‘journal’ between the months of January and July 2020 covering the major global events (I’m sure you can recall) with his vociferous opinions being ‘ranted at you’ (that is how I read it with his ranting voice in my ear) on all subjects available around Meghan, BLM, wokism, Covid, Boris and many many more….. written of course from his own concrete opinion.
He is contentious. He is as we all know very opinionated. He has very decisive/ derisive views on various subjects but I found myself occasionally laughing, disagreeing a lot, nodding in agreement (sometimes), learning, googling to see if he was correct about facts, insulted, disliking him and on the whole informed about his opinions- (to be fair all books are one way information but with Piers it feels even more so). It wasn’t wasted hours reading his book, I don’t resent the time I spent reading it. But I appreciate its not for all.
