Not much can be added that hasn‘t already been said about the horrors of the Holocaust. This is a great read that gives a fascinating and unique perspective. A Jewish doctor and assistant to Josef Mengele gives his eye witness account. A wonderfully written and heart breaking story of a man‘s fight to survive.

I‘ve been getting into novellas this year and have lucked out so far. Binti was a great book the mixed themes of culture, futuristic sci-fi, and war in a super interesting way! Okorafor manages to pack a fascinating and well fleshed out universe into a compact 90 pages. Very excited to read the sequel!

I remember reading this for school in 6th grade and found my sister‘s old copy while digging through books. It was quite nostalgic, but also a really solid coming of age survival story! A very quick read, so I think I‘m going to check out the rest of the series!

Snyder has a lot of solid advice for you if your goal is to sell a script in Hollywood, but the book felt a bit bogged down with stories about himself and his “illustrious” career. I learned a lot, but he‘s a bit too “white guy trapped in classical Hollywood” for my taste.

Great introduction to my favourite mythology! Crossley-Holland includes notes explaining his translation and how he chose sources and compiled the collection. Great for newcomers to the Norse Myths and religious studies/classics geeks alike!

Consider Phlebas was very different than anything I've read before. It was a fascinating look at a war between a futuristic utopia and a planet of warrior zealots. I really enjoyed it, and hope to read more Culture novels in the future!
