I'm reading Purge (not to be confused with the film franchise), by a Finnish-Estonian writer about two women with dark pasts during the waning days of the Soviet Occupation of Estonia

Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks

(re-reading) Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett

(re-reading) Invitation to Forth by Harry Katzan Jr

(reading to my son) Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl, Der Kleine Peter in der Katzenstadt, An Caisteal fòn Mhuir.

Got quite a lot going on at the moment, really, in terms of books.

"So you got gutted like a pig. A survival guide for unemployed software engineers." An O'reily classic.

"Principles and Techniques for Designing Precision Machines"(Layton Carter Hale, Thesis, 1999)

Mostly seeking design tips for a vacuum tolerant micro-positioning stage project. =3

"A Darwinian Survival Guide: Hope for the 21st Century" - really enjoying the modern take on Darwinian natural selection (the first part of the book). In short nature diversifies in good times, to stock resilience for weathering the bad times. Just a few chapters in, waiting for that hope to kick in any minute...

"The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst" - This story is about the first round-the-world solo yacht race, and the one contestant who died at sea. His story is really strange - an anti-hero tragedy with a touch of mental illness. The author does a great job bringing the reader on this descent into madness.

"Protocols" - Andrew Huberman's recent book. Like his podcast, it's full of solid advice backed by published science - but also with some repetitive filler and product name drops. The sections on exercise and diet were not very informative to me, mainly because I've already incorporated most of that into my life already. The sections on light exposure and its relationship to sleep, melatonin and cortisol is the most fascinating new-to-me info. I've started morning/evening walking without my sunglasses to get those sweet sweet photons.

Blank Space: A Cultural History of the Twenty-First Century by W. David Marx. A fascinating and approachable read.

"Escape from Capitalism", by Clara Mattei
