6. The Remains of the Day
Kazuo Ishiguro

Stevens isn’t an unreliable narrator but expertly makes you enjoy his presence then scream at him.

Absolutely brilliant book. The closing scenes speak strongly to anyone old enough to have a past.

5. Vagabond
Tim Curry

Curry’s memoir reads like a long drive with a friend. He’s charming, funny, and irrepressibly British.

In the closing chapters, there’s a thank-you that was honestly touching.

Love and admire his attitude to “get on with it.”
4. Murderland
Caroline Fraser

A thorough account of inanimate, corporate, and human serial killers. Never sensational, but so often disturbing for the sheer inanity of each death.

Proceed with caution, but proceed.

You idiots!
You’ve caught their stunt doubles!
Some conservatives are convinced that Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan will join Erika Kirk at the TPUSA halftime show and they think this is what it'll look like

3. Timequake
Kurt Vonnegut

Raucous and fun. Poignant and goofy at times. There’s something for everyone in here.

That said, the final chapters don’t sing (or singe) like the rest.

Driving north on I-65 near Whitestown, IN. My wife was connecting her laptop to her hotspot.

When she pulled up the list of available WiFi networks, two stood out.

ICE_Core
ICE_Trusted

One mile down the road they weren’t available.

Any ideas?

2. If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies
Eliezer Yudkowsky & Nate Soares

Do yourself a favor. Make a glossary as you read because the jargon can get dense at times.

Good basic background and prognostication, but the parables were often overwrought.

Scary details of what’s already happened.

Buy the TACO.
The TACO cycle:

Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.

So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

Due to MLK holiday, TACO Tuesday is pushed back one day.
*TRUMP SAYS HE WON'T IMPOSE GREENLAND-LINKED TARIFFS ON FEB. 1

Trump climbs down. He seems to have invented some sort of "framework" for future deal on Greenland with NATO Secretary General Rutte. Of course, it is not NATO's place to say what happens to Greenland.

1. Take the Cannoli
Sarah Vowell

Quintessential Vowell. Most essays were like time travel to a pre-smart phone youth.

Really enjoyed “Drive Through Please.”

“Michigan and Wacker” has protopodcast depth that I love.
