I"ve started "Tell Me Everything You Don't Remember: The Stroke That Changed my Life." I was drawn to it because the author was in her 30s when she had the stroke and I was curious about how the brain injury impacted her. The thing is, so far the book is...confusing? She jumps back and forth in time, but in a disjointed way. I don't know if it's my brain injury or hers ( ), but it feels like a more difficult/unenjoyable read than it should be.

Currently reading Bad Blood about the Theranos scam. Great read, moves quickly and some incredible anecdotes.

EDIT; Finished bad blood. So good. Honestly fantastic.

This month also read:
Atomic Habits - good!
Silence (by Erling Kagge) - not bad!
Along the Road to Soweto - not great!
The Purpose of Power (by Alicia Garza) - pretty good!
Work Won’t Love You Back (by Sarah Jaffe) - not fun, but very prescient

Wish I had the capacity to get through that many books in a month!

A research article about Two-Eyed Seeing. Really interesting.

Recently read:

The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins. About US anti-communist policy and the death that follow in its path, even in ‘peaceful’ coups. Extremely good, fairly quick read.

The Longing for Less by Kyle Chayka. Touches on minimalism, its roots in art and music, its influence on architecture, and its distant predecessors. Quite good.

Do Not Disturb by Michela Wrong. Excellent hybrid of true crime, history, and international politics on the small circle that changed the Great Lakes region of Africa and has used western governments and media to whitewash their human rights abuses.

On a hot streak of good books.
