Reading

I read a lot, mostly in the form of audiobooks. I have enough audiobooks that I built an app to manage the files. Here’s what I’m reading, what I’ve read, and what I’m looking to read next.

The Other Mrs

by Mary Kubica

Finished 2025-06-30

I was pretty sure I had this figured out from very early on and while I wasn’t wrong I didn’t have the whole thing, so what I had sussed out was joined by things I hadn’t or things that took me much longer in a pretty satisfying way.
The Atlas Six

by Olivie Blake

Finished 2025-06-25

The first characters we’re introduced to seem like the most obvious and ham-fisted “enemies to lovers” I’ve ever seen and I wondered what I was in for, but as the book goes on it gets stranger, less predictable, and frankly the writing gets better (and also stranger, at times). I would not have guessed, starting out, that I’d like this book any more than so much “is it YA, or isn’t it?” fantasy I’ve read over the years. But by the end, I really liked it. Will pick up the sequel soon.

After OnA Novel of Silicon Valley

by Rob Reid

Finished 2025-06-16

Mildly interesting plot written in an extremely insufferable voice. Almost DNF’ed. Stuck it out and it was … fine.

Famous Last Words

by Gillian McAllister

Finished 2025-05-11

Chewed through the audiobook in two days so that’s gotta count for something. Not necessarily a stand-out thriller but it had me hooked all the same.
How Are You Going to Pay for That?Smart Answers to the Dumbest Question in Politics

by Ryan Cooper

Finished 2025-05-10

Lots of interesting stuff in this book. Oddly though the actual title of the book seems to be … not really the main thrust. The main thrust is all the things that need to be done; how those things are paid for seems to mostly be “it’s not actually that important” and I think that’s fair but it makes the book title kind of funny.
Red Team Blues

by Cory Doctorow

Finished 2025-05-08

Starts off interestingly. Then the protagonist has sex with a few beautiful women and several men tell him how much they admire him, and then the intrigue fizzles to an “I guess that’s it?” and then the book is apparently over.
