inI voted against reading Klara and the Sun for 3 weeks, then one comment flipped me
Man, the thing nobody talks about is how the pitch itself gets ruined by whoever is pushing the book. If a big reader in the group raves about something, I dock it points before I even crack it open (weird reverse snob thing, I know). But when the quiet person speaks up, it hits different because they had to actually work up to saying it. My fix is to ask the shy recommender one question: "what part would I hate?" Cause Dana's answer about copied love is basically a warning label in disguise, and that told you more than any rave review could.

inTook me 5 failed cooks to realize my pit probe was reading 25 degrees off
A $40 digital thermometer can still read 25 degrees off if you don't check it in boiling water, so the gear might not have been the real problem. You probably just got better at cooking the brisket and the new toy made you feel like you fixed something.
