finished the island of sea women which is an interesting book but as with all historical fiction i am wary
also the first part doesn’t prep you for how vicious and gruesome and upsetting it gets and that kind of annoyed me.
witcher: the time of contempt was good even if a little bit too much “politics”. awful awful ending though that really made me want to be like ‘wtf is this series even’. sometimes fantasy reminds me too much of really bad fan fiction and i dunno
finished station eleven which is a neat little post apocalyptic story with most of the flashbacks being not for me i guess.
moon of crusted snow was a better apocalypse story but was missing something to make it amazing, i dunno what.
going through golden kamuy manga, some of the volumes are all right but some of the later ones move at a snails pace i think.
the human superorganism was a book about how we ignore the microbiome in healthcare, which is a cool concept and lots of interesting little bits of info in the book, but i know it’s a little pushy about the results you can get from just changing your probiotics. also it makes it seem like all non communicable diseases are caused by microbiome imbalances, which while sometimes is likely true and influencial, can’t be decided for sure in all cases, so it’s a little self-presumptuous. worth a read tough. annoying ‘ugh youth culture’ language sometimes which i chose to ignore. don’t tell me how to feel about twerking in a book about microbes, old guy!
