Books
Finished reading: Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Wow, that was fun.
I did not know that Shantaram was being made into an AppleTV series (starting this Friday!). I loved this book and hope the show does it justice. 📚
Finished reading: Termination Shock: A Novel by Neal Stephenson 📚
Finished reading: The Every by Dave Eggers 📚
Ouch. A blistering satire of tech and surveillance that hit pretty close to home.
Buy it directly from McSweeney’s to get one of the randomized covers.
Finished reading: Attack Surface by Cory Doctorow 📚
Finished reading: The Way of Kings: Book One of the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson 📚
About 900 pages in I was thinking “this is good, but it could be a lot shorter”, then the story took off and all the setup was worth it. 8/10⭐️
I’m really looking forward to Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. It’s out next week and here’s an excerpt from The Guardian 📚
Finished reading: Reborn in the USA: An Englishman’s Love Letter to His Chosen Home by Roger Bennett 📚
I enjoyed reading about the 80s culture of my childhood through the eyes of someone not in the US. A fun read, especially if you’re a Men in Blazers fan.
Finished reading: The Art of the National Parks by Fifty-Nine Parks 📚
This is a gorgeous book of the Fifty-Nine Parks poster series. Each park gets a two page spread of the poster and a writeup about the park. I really enjoyed it.
