favorites of 2025:
* terry prachet's discworld. sorry i can't name specific books but night watch was my fav series, followed closely by witches. wish there were more death books.
* the name of the rose by umberto eco - sherlock holmes meets late medieval christianity sectarianism (recommended in part by trashpile / odradek)
* terra ignota quadrilogy by ada palmer - scifi / philosophy books set in a post-nationstate world, with heavy Enlightenment references
* all things are too small: essays in praise of excellence by becca rothfeld - excellent (see what i did there?) essay collection about going overboard and embracing the excess
* blindsight by peter watts - this is a scifi book about first contact with aliens from a ship led by a fucking vampire, and that's not the important part of it
* mood machine by liz pelly - a scathing book about how algorithms and spotify suck for music lovers and artists
* power broker by robert caro - epic story of robert moses, unelected king of new york
