| This is so bad. Repetitive, staccato, every line a new one for emphasis which is very rapidly exhausting. My guess is AI, padding out a very limited outline of actual content. As of 25% of the way through I suspect I will give up - this will not teac ...more | |

This wasn't ultimately as much fun as I was hoping. Though bonus point for having climate change in the background. It started strong and whimpered out towards the end. (view spoiler) ...more |

| I would probably read Jon Ronson investigating the phone book in his humourously self-aware search for knowledge, so I went through this pretty quick. And enjoyed it. It's funny as usual, I learned some things on the way about history and company tow ...more | |

Say Why to Drugs: Everything You Need to Know About the Drugs We Take and Why We Get High:
"I spotted Say Why to Drugs: Everything You Need to Know About the Drugs We Take and Why We Get High in a pile of books that the library was giving away, presumably due to weeding, and decided to adopt it. I enjoy reading about psychoactive substances"

"Enjoyable book for what is, no doubt, a somewhat niche target audience. The author has a very approachable, fireside-like way of communicating which made what is ordinarily pretty dense stuff far more digestible. A little too much promotion of BNEF, "

Solar Power Finance Without The Jargon (second Edition):
"Fantastic read if you want to get to know the renewables and PV industry in particular to know better. This applies for both laypeople and experts. Tons of valuable knowledge (it may depreciate within years though), surprisingly much fun (she seems t"

| Well, this was amazing though I am not sure I'll be able to bring myself to re-read it. While others might nitpick factual errors, I think it's surprisingly accurate about how a modern pandemic would play out (there really is not much new under the s ...more | |

| I liked Zelu a lot. She's so spiky, and her world is fully realised and very interesting, and not afraid to be problematic. Her family are so well drawn in their combination of valid concerns, real love, and fear of change even when Zelu desperately ...more | |
“There is nothing so moving - not even acts of love or hate - as the discovery that one is not alone.”

― The Territorial Imperative: A Personal Inquiry Into the Animal Origins of Property and Nations
“Man is neither unique nor central nor necessarily here to stay. But he is a product of circumstances special to the point of disbelief. And if man in his current predicament seeks a fair mystique to see him through, then I can only suggest that he consider his genes. For they are marked. They are graven by luck beyond explanation. They are stamped by forces that we shall never know. But even so, in the hieroglyph of the human emergence certain symbols must stand for all to read: Change is the elixir of the human circumstance, and acceptance of challenge the way of our kind. We are bad-weather animals, disaster’s fairest children. For the soundest of evolutionary reasons man appears at his best when times are worst.”

“The dog barking at you from behind his master's fence acts for a motive indistinguishable from that of his master when the fence was built.”

“We were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments?”
