The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir by John R. Bolton
Did not finish book.
After 10 days of listening, I decided to DNF at 30%. It's probably an important book. It is full of A LOT of information and I enjoyed Bolton's commentary. But I found my attention wandering each time I listened, so I wasn't even learning anything new.
I was waiting months for my hold to be released from the library so I was initially excited to read/listen to understand better what happened over these past 4 years. The book wasn't doing it for me though. Maybe I'd feel different if I was physically reading it. Or maybe if I had read it sooner, closer to when it was published. But at this point, with him recently out of office, I realized I don't want to hear about him any more.
It's possible I'll give this another shot in the future. Maybe. Or, I'll just look for a spark-notes version.
On to better things!
