  1. There might be a week where I read several books and then there might be a couple weeks where i'm not reading or I'm just really struggling with one book like a book like The Power Broker might take me a couple weeks but I'm always reading and I'm reading short books and long books.

  2. I could not finish this book because it is a little too long and too detailed, making the "bang for buck" ratio slightly too low for my liking. It is a relatively pleasant read, but I also thought that the author assumed too much about what the reader knows regarding public policy, politics, and so on. Many times I felt myself lost in the subtleties of the politics that was unfolding, and there was no decent attempt made at explaining the situation more clearly.
