    “Is there a God of Municipal Infrastructure? That feels like Athena’s domain”

    Sorry this book is so unserious 🤪 the balance between ‘I killed my kids and I’m trying to atone/seek justice’ to the most ridiculous line I’ve read in my life is such a tightrope walk wiswell does soooo well

  • The Limit Might Exist

    Is there any book length that is your maximum limit? Like beyond that you nope out?

    For me any book over 1K pages is a hard pass unless it's interesting enough

    I need to read a book that I'm kind of intimidated by because it says it's over 1500 pages on my Kindle, 850 pages on paperback and I thought why not grab it on audiobook to make it a lil easier.... it's 36 hours long... 😶

    I got about 30% into this book before I realized a lot was going over my head and I was a little too stupid for this book. I did not like this narrator he was kind of a schlub. You can also very much place this book on time socially with the misogyny, fetishizing, and racism. It was well done how he was so boring and having his journey and then he’d say something so jarring you’d remember he’s just some random guy with views that are so gross now but so normalized then and using that as SUCH an indicator of the times.

    Then I realized I was missing a lot of OTHER historical/political context outside of the social stuff and once I looked into that everything made more sense. It made more sense through the lens of the Einstein/Cold War rather than just social stuff. I liked how they make a point to say religion is lies, and everyone knows it and still engages. And, at the end of everything, we may only be left with lies to keep us moving forward. w

    Veggie cookbooks!

    We never talk about cookbooks on here and I wanted to change that a bit.

    I find that every time I’ve gone out and bought a veggie cookbook they’ve always fallen flat for me. The best veggie recipes I’ve found have been in cookbooks that aren’t veggie, but have some options (looking at you Full of Beans). Does anyone have any recs for a really good veggie cookbook that isn’t just a bunch of salads and noodles?

    Edit: i mean vegetarian but I’m also open to vegan books!
