What Are You Reading?
I’m at the car dealership this morning for some maintenance. What are you reading? For me it is The Fall by Albert Camus. Here’s an early excerpt from the book: “Anyone who has considerably meditated on man, by profession or vocation, is led to feel nostalgia for the primates. They at least don’t have any ulterior motives.”

finished reading Sleeping Giants 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Sylvain Neuval.
An alien artifact triggers a race to harness its immense power. Told mostly via interview transcripts, which kinda works (I liked how the interviewer gradually becomes more of a protagonist, and more invested in the interviewees) but doesn't do justice to the action sequences. Smoking Man X-Files vibes.

NYC, 1919: Perched on a towering pile of donated books, a librarian calls from a megaphone to request more book donations for American troops stationed in France. The American Library Association’s campaign sent up to 55,000 books each month to military camp libraries.
