Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber
Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
The first two chapters were really slow. I am all for clear and well-defined definitions, but I think Graeber overdid it even for me. He spent a lot of time just exploring and defining what constitutes a bullshit job. This could have been condensed.
I skipped ahead to the fourth chapter and then got into it a bit. I set it down for another book that grabbed my attention and now the library audio book is due! I will just need to come back to this some other time in the future (maybe) because it feels a little bit too dismal for me right now to renew the loan.
I got a good bit out of reading the original article and don’t really feel the need to read the whole book in this case.
