First Thousand Hours: A Pilot's Log
What can i say about this book? I bought it on recommendation from Ryan Holiday. I started reading it in the airplane and was so thoroughly bored with it. I picked it up later and again, after 20 pages I just had enough. It's an array of 1 page short stories that basically go like this:
"I once done found myself on a boat on the Mississipi, I saw a wealthy lookin' sucker and I done caught his money. I am a little bit richer now."
Yawn.
It was the repetitiveness of the stories that made it impossible for me to read more than one in a go. So it became my bathroom book. And I tell you that highly kicked up the enjoyment!
In the 5 minutes I spend on the john I could just squeeze in a story of ole Devol doin' some gamblin'. And as the stories progressed, more and more of the life and culture became visible. Stories about plantation owners gamblin' for slaves in the barbershop, or shipmates gambling there jewellery and their wives coming to get it back give a nice visual of life on the riverboats.
If you want a page turner, good luck, I couldn't do it. But it is probably one of the best bathroom books I have ever read.
