      Nice, I remember reading it and Homo Deus when I was in school and enjoying it a lot

      Coincidentally, I’m reading Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow which is somewhat critical of Sapiens

        I love it. I find it very funny and sarcastic but also very rich and informative. I recently saw an article talking about how this book is a decade old and whether it stands the test of time. After I finish (87% done) I’ll go back and read that article in my Instapaper.

    Decided to start Time Shelter before picking up A Clash of Kings, it’s pretty nice. I didn’t expect it to be so short, or it just seems this way after A Game of Thrones lol. Already a quarter way into it and I’m pretty hooked.

      Please post a review of it once you finish! I’m obsessed with Time Shelter and would love to see other opinions on it.

        I’ve never written a book review and I’m not really sure if I can 😅, but sure, it sounds fun.

    I randomly picked up “On”, an old sci-fi book I never heard of. While reading, I understand why it got lost in the mists of time, but it’s an okay read with an interesting idea: what if gravity went sideways?

    I have finished “Mother of Learning” (Progression Fantasy) - The final battle was epic. Originally it was a web nowel so it was right up my alley.

    Still in Infinite Powers: The Story of Calculus - The Language of the Universe, by Steven Strogatz. I find that’s a very good and well written vulgarization book.

    Just finished The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Undecided what to start next, probably some Discworld followed by maybe Dead Souls or Heart of a Dog. Also, listening to And Another Thing.
