day 20/ 1491, New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann
This one puts history books to shame, the world over. A must-read book for anyone interested in American History. Reads like a train and covers everything before 1491 known at the time of writing.

day 19/ The Dawn of Everything, A new History of Humanity by David Graeber & David Wengrow
This book ought to be more famous than it is, but it's a tough one to get through. I loved it, but it's written for academia. Still, it offers so many interesting insights: the flag matches the contents.

day 18/ Bitch, What does it mean to be Female? by Lucy Cooke
This book is hilarious, insightful, entertaining and just all around marvellous. I blew through this in a couple of days of reading whenever I could, gathering looks of people wondering why i laughed out loud in the train.
Biology rocks

day 17/ Against Empathy, The Case for Rational Compassion by Paul Bloom
I picked this up because the main title was so counter-intuitive for me. I fully expected to dislike the book and lay it down after a couple chapters. Instead i found myself agreeing totally. Paradigm-shifting.

day 16/ White Fragility, Why it's so hard for White People to talk about Racism by Robin Diangelo
A very compelling read on racism: what it is and the pitfalls of talking about it. It's thin,to the point, eye-opening and allows you to articulate the position clearly.

day 15/ Social Defence, Social Change by Brian Martin
A very tiring question anyone campaigning for peace is often asked is: "what's the alternative". This book has one, even if it sounds far-fetched at first glance. I love the examples in the book!

day 14/ Sacred Cows and Golden Geese by C. Ray Greek and Jean Swingle Greek
A very interesting book on the topic of animal experimentation for medical "gains" and the costs of that approach.

day 13/ Real Education, Varieties of Freedom by David Gribble
This one blew my mind. I love the variety of school systems people came up with to make children thrive. I only wish my country had some of them (we had one, but it closed due to state pressure).

As an anarchist this was a very valuable book to think about violence and the role of police/state in it.

day 10: I studied economics in high school, and boy do I wish we would have studied it like it is studied in this book. It reads like a train, and every page is packed with info. It taught me why capitalism is the opposite of a free market for example. Many things become clearer after reading this.

day 9: The only book you'll need to understand why climate change is a massive problem. It'll teach you about how fragile our society really is.

day 8: This book took me places I did not expect. The cover is well chose, as a lot of the book is an elaboration on soil. I can practically guarantee this book will transform your thinking about food production.

day 7: If i could choose one thing to be mandatory for all students of 15 and up, I'd choose this. Systems theory is crucial to understanding just about any complicated subject. Without it, you'll forever be stumbling in the dark. Not the most accessible book I've ever read, but totally worth it.

day 6: This one changed my view on depression, but by extension also about things like drug addiction and the human experience.

day 5: Elementary principles of war propaganda by Anne Morelli. Short and to the point on all 10 principles, you will never approach another war the same again. The lies about babies from October 7th, for example, are straight out of the playbook.
I love concise books, this is a masterclass.

day 4: I picked this one up second-handed drawn by the name. It's a collection of essays how he imagines several scientific fields will progress. It's grounded in examples from the past. The first 2 are a must-read for anyone interested in science in general.

day 3: This one made me challenge all preconceptions i had about relationships. Not just those about sex, but in general: does monogamy make sense, what are the suppositions that underline it.
Main lesson for me: polyamory doesn't need to entail multiple sex partners & one partner need not be all.

day 2: Children of Mother Earth by Thea Beckman.
This book taught me to see society as something that can be shaped and moulded, far better than we have chosen to do. It taught me about inherited violence and trauma and how societies shape the humans that live in them.
Sadly never translated

day 2: "Children of mother earth" - Thea Beckman
A children's book I read the first time when i was 10 (rereads yearly). It taught me to question how our society works by presenting a coherent alternative. It shattered society's norms/rules for me and taught me to ask "why" and "how bout like this"

day 1: i thought i knew the plight of women ... until i read this book. Mind-boggling: even though i travel in feminist circles i learned so much.
