Rated The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America 6/10

<div>This is basically a book about the Chicago World's Fair with a longform essay about a serial killer smooshed between chapters. Both have some interesting moments, but the writing is also a bit overwrought and speculative for my tastes in nonfiction. There are some assumptions about different people's mannerisms and inner thoughts that he could not possibly know, most of which do not add anything substantial to the narrative. The overall effect is just an ok book. I learned a few things.</div>

Rated Conscious: A Brief Guide to the Fundamental Mystery of the Mind 8/10

Like reading a very fascinating longform article that leaves one with a lot to think about. Harris writes in a clear way, and this is a good entry point for the heavy, sometimes opaque study of the mind.
