Writing about this topic has proven more difficult than I originally thought. I thought I would lay out some tips and ideas that the book present, nicely give a few examples, and tell you to go read the book yourself. But it turns out that after finishing it, I have been pretty lost. Lost with all of the ideas presented, and everything that is discussed. This book is so saturated with content and filled with information that it is quite hard to decompose and analyse some of the ideas that this book presents. Regardless here I am going to try to do just that, and how good of a job will I do? I don&rsquo;t know.</p>https://kostek.uk/mind-palace/posts/2024/08/why-did-nobody-tell-me-this-before/Tue, 20 Aug 2024 08:30:00 +0000https://kostek.uk/mind-palace/posts/2024/08/why-did-nobody-tell-me-this-before/<p>This post is about the book: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Nobody-Told-This-Before/dp/0241529719">Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?</a>.</p> <p>This is my second try at writing the blog post about this book.

My days have been pretty busy lately, with me sometimes working from 7am to 9pm; I did not have the time to sit down and escape into an imaginary world, even though I badly wanted to. And when I picked up The City &amp; The City, I expected it to hit every detective cliché that this genre had to offer. I would never normally pick up a detective novel, James Patterson&rsquo;s Cross series have put me off detective stories in my teens.</p>https://kostek.uk/mind-palace/posts/2024/08/the-city-the-city-spoiler-free/Tue, 06 Aug 2024 08:30:00 +0000https://kostek.uk/mind-palace/posts/2024/08/the-city-the-city-spoiler-free/<p>I haven&rsquo;t read a fiction book in a long while.
