I even sketched and wrote quotes from the book into my journal. Now that I am into nature journaling and natural history myself, I found all the talk about natural history in this book very exciting. I made the mistake of watching the TV series based on this book first and upon finding the series boring, I expected something similar from the book but this book was amazing! The book about a boy with his love for animals and an eccentric family makes for a delightful read.
And LOVED it! The book is absolutely hilarious. After having this book sit on my shelf for 6-7 years, I finally picked it up and read it. I had expected this book to fall into that realm but I could not be more wrong. But all those books lying on the shelf from years together weren’t picked with my taste in mind so most of them are getting 1 star or 2 stars. I now also know what kind of books interest me in general and have been picky about the kind of books I read. So the rating for books becomes comparative and you become more and more critical so it is not easy for a book to impress you. But after reading 1000+ books, you become more critical since you may have read a book better than this one. When you have only read 50 or 100 books in your life, you think they are the best books ever written and give 5 stars to every one of them generously. I now realized that having a huge pile of unread books isn’t a very good thing as our taste in books keeps evolving.īooks that I would have read 6 years back and given 5 stars to, might not even get 2 stars now.
I am doing a project since end of last year, where I am picking the oldest unread books on my shelf and deciding whether I want to read them or sell them.
