I finished the Gales of November by John Bacon and it was excellent, details of the men and their jobs in the Edmund Fitzgerald and the shipping industry and the scariest Great Lake, Superior. Heartbreaking subject well explored in this book.

I read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick.
I thought it was entertaining! Really brilliant concepts, I love how this was the genesis of Blade Runner, I can see the clear inspo. I do think the book is a bit better for being shorter while conveying the same thing 😅
One thing that made me feel gross was every time a woman appeared in the book, the author kept going on about her breasts. Not very cool at all.

The #book #Loonshots reshaped the way I think about the innovative organizations I've been a part of - Bush-Vail rules, P vs. S-type bets, and how important structure is. If you’re juggling artists and soldiers, you might relate.

Finished reading The Wasp Trap.
I enjoyed it, but it's flawed.
The Good: page turner, kept me guessing, villain reveal was satisfying, epilogue while short was satisfying.
The Bad: MMC grossed me out, cryptic clues go nowhere, first 10-15 chapters are a slog, villain defeat is hilariously bad, story isn't really gripping.
3.5/5

#Book review: The Feminist Art of Walking (Morag Rose, Pluto Press, 2025).
📍 https://thesociologicalreview.org/reviews/the-feminist-art-of-walking-by-morag-rose/
“At the outset, Rose adopts a cautious stance toward famous walking figure of the flâneur, urban wanderer. Rose calls out how the notion of the flâneur has historically been “male, wealthy and able-bodied."
She calls on us to consider how walking can function as activism, weaving together histories, memories and the present within urban landscapes.”
