It's actually a good book. Probably too hard for you though.
Discussion
the subject is good, the style of the author is bad. he writes in a way that makes me angry. reading this book is like seeing the paint on the walls of the house dry.
He's German.
And Yeah ofc you'd find it boring.
Life is full of boringness.
And if being bored makes you angry. That's sad. It'll fuck you up later.
Life isn't so amazing and exciting every second.
Intrigue is something found between the lines.
Learning isn't always some grand mental adventure.
It's long and arduous. Tedious and meticulous.
Looking back when it's over and finding a way to make it amusing for yourself is where the true understanding takes place.
You have to be willing to see things from other's perspective before you can gain your own insights.
Or you can go through Life with your head up your ass thinking as long as someone out there thinks you're pretty you've got it all figured out.
Let me be clear, he wasn't boring because what he wrote didn't make sense, but because every sentence he wrote is like a terrible imitation of Balzac. it seemed as if he was fully aware of what he was writing and could not break away from his method to be more free.
Boring is also Frank Kafka. try to read the castle and you will be depressed, but the difference between boring authors is that some excite you and some don't. I cannot compare Frank Kafka with Lohr because it is like comparing Albert Einstein with Guillaume Verdon. I just want to say that the problem with the book you suggested is not that it is too boring, but because it did not excite me.
It wasn't supposed to excite you.
Other books from my personal collection:
Some are pretty dry, yet still good.
