No, I would say that in recent memory it was just that book that was like that for me. Without spoiling anything I think it had to do with the book being kind of grounded (within the sci-fi setting it set) and then it just wasn't.
And yeah I could definitely understand losing interest in that way. You just kind of lose the connection to the book through lack of interaction with it. Not sure if it would work but it could help to go back a couple of chapters and start reading from there to kind of remember what you were reading and feeling earlier.
What'd you think of it? I read it last year cuz it was recommended and I enjoyed the beginning but as the book progressed I got less and less interested.
Richard Medhurst talked about this before and recently. I tried to find the original video I saw but could only find his newer one talking about it here. But yes, while Israel would wipe Gaza off the map just for the land, they also want the natural gas off the coast of Gaza so they can build their pipeline to Europe.
Glad to have you here. Since you're already reading some books I'd also recommend Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.
