This is Your Brain on Music, Daniel Levitin, 314p, 2006, audio
5/10
Some parts were interesting, but I didn't really nice with the main concept of understanding music through neuroscience. It seemed like too much analyzing something that must be felt to be understood

The Teller of Small Fortunes by @julieleong.bsky.social 2024, 324p, fantasy
7.5/10
I can't really say why, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It doesn't move that fast which is usually a no go for me and fiction, but I really liked the meandering pace of this one.

Years ago I started listening to this podcast. I was extremely skeptical, but after a few episodes they won me over.

7/10
Like all parenting books, there is a ton in here, so you have to just take what works for you and toss the rest.

The Tapper Twins Tear Up New York, Geoff Rodkey, juvenile fiction, 2015, 261p
8/10
I read this series while working graveyard shifts. They are perfect for that. They don't take a lot of head power and they're funny and entertaining.

Fallout, Peter Watson, 2018, 448p, non fiction, audio
I didn't finish this one. It was way too long and detailed. I'd like to believe the premise (USA knew there was no threat of a nuclear bomb), but I haven't heard it anywhere else, so I need verification.

Everything is tuberculosis by John Green, 198 pages, 2025, non fiction, audio
I didn't finish this one. My loan ended before I could finish. I would say it was mildly good, but I'm not planning on going back and finishing

7.5/10
I thought this was a pretty fun book.
There aren't really any life lessons or anything deeper than just being entertained, but it was entertaining. If I was a 6th grader I would probably give it 10/10

I thought this one started pretty good, but after the first 60 pages or so it got to be quite a slog.

Abundance by @dkthomp.bsky.social and @ezraklein.bsky.social 2025, 288p audio

This is not a book that made me happier. I took it as a very depressing view of where we are, where we could be, and some of the hurdles that we face to get where we want to go.

It pains me to give this book such a low rating, as I'm on board with everything in it. I just don't think that the case for less parking and cars was made very well.

The False Price by Jennifer A. Nielsen 343p 2012
6/10
I'm much older than the target audience, but this book didn't really grab me at all.
The plot was decent, but the ending was pretty predictable - although I enjoyed reading how it all came together.

This book was very informative about scientology and all of the demands it puts on its members.
I'm very glad that the author read it so I could hear her emotion, and accent.
