Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils by David Farrier
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
Ugh - terrible start to the year. Two 2 star books followed by a DNF, and we are not even through the first half of January. 😵💫
I didn't realise this book was written by a Professor of Literature, so there are so many references to poets, stories and myths and I am only on page 60. Even flicking through it, it seems like every page or so there is a reference to some literature. I hoped for something a bit more 'hard-sciencey' but I am not seeing it after 20% through. Much preferred Alan Weisman's The World Without Us.
I think I need to read some easy fiction next, and also shorter. Out of the last 3 books I have read, 2 have been 1,000+ pages.....I have to revert to something 'easier' for a while.
