Sapiens. Nice book. I’m a little late to that party.

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

You are not! Books are not time bound! How are you liking it?

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 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.

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.
