I've got a history of picking up the 2 top books of the airports best sellers. Have been my strategy for a while, right now it's FLESH. Feels like I'm being part of the mainstream, reading something everyone else reading.

- Hacker News, mostly comments, and the occasional full article

- Google News and the occasional full article

- Email

- Slack

- ChatGPT/ Codex responses

- Road signs

- Various things in various mobile apps I use

- Websites

- Movie/Show subtitles

Off the top of my head, that accounts for most of the things I read on a weekly basis.

No time for books.

The Score, by C. Thi Nguyen.

It explores why we love metrics in games, but hate them at work.

One of the books I'm reading now is Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay, by George Ewart Evans. Set in 1957 Suffolk county, England. I often read in a theme and this theme is about cultural and technological transitions.

Breakneck, China's quest to engineer the future. Dan Wang

I finished Quantum Radio last week and Im quite far in Rainbows End. I think the former is ok, not great; the latter is a better book (with AR future vibes), but still lacking something that makes u never drop it before u finish it.

Meaty: Quarantine by Greg Egan. Easily my favorite book so far this year. It starts as a detective story, but then spirals into something much bigger. Forced beliefs, quantum super positions, and the existential dread of repeatedly facing your own non-existence. It's second only to Permutation City in my Egan tier list.

That book led me to Quantum Computing for Everyone. It's good so far, but more work than expected to follow along being that I'm dumb.

Since the question is what are you reading (not what have you read): Ant-Kind by Charlie Kaufman. It's too soon to say if it's good or not, but it has made me laugh out loud several times. I'm about 80 pages in, and it's only just now started to open up into Kaufman's recursive, meta story telling that makes his film stuff so cool.

A Secular Age by Charles Taylor.

Fiction: Between Two Fires

Non-fiction: 21st Century Monetary Policy

Energy and Civilization by Vaclav Smil. Bounced off a few Robert Macfarlane titles —just not for me — and also Anne of Green Gables w my kid
