• The last book was “Extreme Privacy: Mobile Devices” by Michael Bazzell which I read in 2024.

    Before that was “The Passive Solar Energy Book” by Edward Mazria. Maybe 20 years ago.

    Combined = a very private, off-grid, homestead.

    An autistic wallflower becomes the latest in a line of clones for the god-emperor. Long philosophical rambling ensues as the wallflower continues to just let bad shit happen to him without ever just walking away or speaking up.

    American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and Building a non anxious life by Dr. John Delony. The former being fiction and the latter being non fiction. To nobody’s surprise, they do not play well together.

    Everything All at Once by Bill Nye

    The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

    =

    Bill Nye must solve a series of mysterious crimes including theft, witch hunts, and murder on a 17th century East Indiaman ship. I’d read the heck out of that.

    Well, if we’re allowing the textbook that I’m going through chapter by chapter weekly in college, Legoshi of Beastars fame would be learning HTML and CSS so he can properly design a website. Don’t know why, but that sounds kinda funny.

    Textbooks not included, it’d be a weird mix of Bakuman ( a story about a couple of kids ( starting off near the end of 8th grade ) who wanna become mangaka ) and the world of Beastars, where anthros roam the streets. I wanna say at some point it was confirmed that humans do exist in the Beastars universe but are basically super rare or something like that, so it’s not completely out of the question.

    Do textbooks count? Last two books I touched were Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design and the ASQ Lean 6 Sigma Yellow Belt Handbook. I guess I end up with another reference book about designing parts with process optimization in mind? Actually, now that I say that, that’s pretty much just a DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) book.
