Finished reading: Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel 📚Quite good. Reminds me of David Mitchell in that it’s not the sequel to prior books but the same characters appear. Definitely a COVID-19 book.

Thinking about quitting : The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles 📚I don’t like the characters. Should I keep going?
Finished reading: Version Control by Dexter Palmer 📚can’t say I liked it. Interesting ideas about time travel but ugly takes on race and gender, the maternal instinct, and who is worth saving.
Finished reading: The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber 📚a monster of a book but worth reading as it posits an alternative history that isn’t all about so-called great men and inevitable predatory capitalism.
