Children of Time by Brian Tchaikovsky
An interesting science fiction novel that address so many different issues: cooperation vs conflict, person/machine divide, slavery, etc. The book was very slow at times, but it kept me thinking. Avoid it if you hate spiders. Grade: B
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harris
This book is a historians view on what will be the next major challenges faced by humanity. Incredibly interesting. Avoid if you do not like to hear someone attacking belief in God. Grade: B+
Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover
Wow, the best book I've read this year (or more). A fascinating and moving story of growing up in a backward home in Idaho and then clawing your way out. Ms. Westover has grit and more grit. Must read. Grade: A
Factfulness by Hans Rosling
It is so nice to read a book written by an optimist. I learned a lot about the world in the 21st century while reading this book and you will too. Grade: A-
Evicted by Matthew Desmond
A case study based look at poverty and the rise in eviction in the United States. Good but soooo slow. Grade: C
Turtles all the Way Down by John Green
A fictional story about a teenager with mental illness. I enjoyed the other John Green books I read more, but this one probably made me think more. Grade: B
