Book 8 was The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson (narrated by Roger Wayne).
I mean, sure, there’s some good stuff in here. But it reeks of privilege. Turns out, one thing I don’t give a flying fruitcake about is this book.

Book 6 was AI Snake Oil by Sayash Kapoor & Arvind Narayanan (narrated by Landon Woodson).
Interesting. I don’t think they spend enough time talking about the ethical side of things. But I suppose other books do that. Definitely worth a read, though.

It’s Agatha Christie but without the racism! It even had some hints at progressive views.
It was needlessly convoluted with far too many suspects. But I didn’t hate it.

Book 33 was Dissolution by C.J. Sansom (narrated by Steven Crossley).
This story is rife with homophobia, classism, ableism, misogyny, religious bigotry, and racism. But given the setting, I suppose it would be more surprising if it weren’t.
