Underland: A Deep Time Journey by Robert Macfarlane
2.0
Maybe not a good decision to listen to the audio and maybe especially while at work but even so my opinion of it stays consistent. Very scattered stories, some dismissive humor, and overall lackluster content. Bits were interesting, otherwise boring.
In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed by Carl Honoré
4.75
Super, super impactful. The sections within the slow movement were painted well.
Only reason for .75 is lack of discourse centered around "fast fashion," though it was mentioned, at times I felt some experiences Honoré shared were blitzed through, and I would have liked more background on the research provided as well as have some provided in general (I've seen the sources in the back of the book but I still think more benefit could have been added had some been delved into more within the chapters rather than in the "notes."
Really happy I found this book.

Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 by Neale Donald Walsch
5.0
Wish it was less centered around the make up of Christianity but I get that was the authors perspective. Also would have liked more explanation on some questions in this book towards the end instead of saying they’d be explained in the next one.
Beautiful, beautiful!! Chronicled lots of things I’d already been thinking about. Definitely easier to follow if you’re familiar with the law of assumption.
