Voracious reader, Central Asian history, history, fibre arts, gardening, tomato breeding, cats, dogs, and assorted other things I enjoy. Just someone that wants to understand the world. I don't like drama queens or fascists.

Jamaica Ginger- Nalo Hopkinson
Blackheart Man- Nalo Hopkinson
The Eyes are the Best Part- Monika Kim
Absolution- Jeff Vandermeer
Jimi Hendrix Live in Lviv- Andrey Kurkov
The Empusium- Olga Tokarczuk

Land between the Rivers -Bartle Bull
The Eurasian Century - Hal Brands
The Great Transformation -Odd Arne Westad
Emancipation -Peter Kolchin
American Dark Age -Keidrick Roy
Humans in Shackles -Ana Lucia Araujo
Intent to Destroy -Eugene Finkel
I didn't think there would ever be a day I would block Washington Post journalists for trash tier journalism (like Fox), but today is a first. Not interested in recycled fox news anti public health messaging
I recently started a book by John Wiswell titled "Someone to build a nest in". It is surprisingly wholesome and adorable. A+ . Can't wait for his next book
I just started a book by Thomas Whigham titled "the Paraguayan War". So far, I'm blown away. It caused Paraguay's population to drop 70%. I had no idea about this war
I just finished " My Heart is a Chainsaw" and it is awful. Has the author ever talked to a woman before? Has he ever talked to a member of the Blackfoot tribe before?
I'm currently reading 3 books:
The Silver Bone by Andrey Kurkov
The Blue Machine by Helen Czerski
The Three Ages of Water by Peter Gleick
I learned quite a bit from Gleick's and Czerski's books so far
I have felt ambivalent about posting here but I will give it a go. Anyway, I used to post a lot about books I read or want to read on other platforms so I will start with that here. My recent reads are:
1) Ray Nagler - Tusks of Extinction
2) Ray Nagler- The Mountain in the Sea
