POV: youβre at a thrift store
Books you will find on any given thrift store shelf in the US, for better or worse π For books in a series or by prolific authors, Iβve only included one book so as not to overwhelm the list.
Suggestions welcome!
I think it goes without saying but just in caseβ¦ Iβm not necessarily recommending these books by having them on this list. (In fact I wouldnβt recommend many of these.) This is for fun!

Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)

One Book Many Quests
Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Many of these are directly about fire but some are also just books I like with fire in the title so you win some you lose some. Would be thrilled to hear any suggestions.
