Finished reading: The Left Hand Of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin 📚 —> a former manager (American) asked me some time ago if I had read this book. She was reading it at the time and had wondered if it resembled what it would be like for me to interact with Americans. I enjoyed reading/listening it with this question in mind and will read more by Le Guin. 4/5

Finished reading: The Story of My Experiments with Truth by M. Gandhi 📚— this was recommended to me a few years ago, I finally got around to listen it. This first autobiography I listened, and I kind of liked it. It was a weird time capsule with acceptance of child marriage, castes, loyalty to the Empire. It has alien ideas about what would be considered medicine, and ideas about eating meat. Still, I enjoyed the book. 3/5

Finished reading: Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell 📚 — this was a quick listen. The audio version wasn’t just the book read by the author, but contained original audio recordings when possible. The story it self was what I had expected; fine, sometimes interesting. Nothing too deep or complicated and not too long of a read. 3/5

Finished reading: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman 📚 — This book was recommended to me in the summer of 2021. I once started reading, but didn’t get into the story. After finishing listening Norse Mythology (narrated by Neil Gaiman too) I wanted to give this another try. I loved the story, and I can recommend it. I have not had fiction on my list for quite some time, but I’ll try a bit more now. One thing I’d do different is finish the end in a single go. I now had it split over 3 moments, which I shouldn’t have done.4/5

Finished reading: The History of Magic by Chris Gosden 📚 — this was quite a long listen. I did enjoy most of it. The book spans a way longer history than I had expected. Also, I found it interesting to have it grounded in view of someone with an archeological background. It’s the first book I finished with such a take — 4/5

Finished reading: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman 📚 — I started to read this back in the summer of ‘22 but only finished it with the audio version. The stories are a delight, and I had been unfamiliar with the post Ragnarok story. I need to check if that was a personal addition, or if it’s actually part of the old stories — 5/5

Finished reading: The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli 📚 — this is a short book. Very accessible and with a great writing style. It covers both theory and philosophical topics around the concept of time. I might revisit this one again — 5/5

Finished reading: A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking 📚 — while interesting and mostly accessible, some parts were to theoretical for me to casually comprehend — 3/5

Finished reading: DisneyWar by James B. Stewart 📚

I never thought I would be drawn into a corporate drama like this. It’s amazing to hear this story, detailing so many movies and series I saw as a child, teenager and student. The story is colourful, and some of the names are still around in the industry.

This book was recommended to me by a colleague, and it did not disappoint.

I finished listening: The War on the West by Douglas Murray — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — initially I was afraid this would be to rightist for my taste, but I found it insightful and balanced📚

Currently reading: Early Retirement Extreme by Jacob Lund Fisker 📚
