On a lighter note, Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary my fastest read in years, i just hope the upcoming movie does it justice.

Alex Ross - Wagnerism is reading and hearing at once (tons of Audiovisuell Companion on his site).
Out of my comfort range, time consuming and enjoyable.

Somehow I’ve never read John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”…fixing that now and amazed at the impact it’s having on me.

Spoiler alert: it won’t, but only because it’s an impossible assignment.

I fully expect to enjoy it going in with that cheerful expectation though. What a great book. The audiobook narration really brings it to life for any on Audible, read by my favorite narrator.

@Aetas I really liked Night Boat to Tangier

@SKT Read it in the 12th grade and I still remember quite a bit about it. Excellent book and maybe a kick in the pants to pick it up again.

Debt: The First 5000 Years by David Graeber. I think I already mentioned The Dawn of Everything, which is similarly fascinating, but Debt is so full of insights and quotable quotes, and ties them together into a coherent and compelling thesis. Both books explain why “it doesn’t have to be this way.”

I'm hugely obsessed with the Dead Pioneers, and indigenous hardcore punk band from the US.
The books fits the theme...

Graham Greene - The Quiet American

(Excellent reading, although the title is practically a contradiction in terms. 🫢)
