Completed Books

Uranium, Tom Zoellner
★★★★☆

Had lots of insight on the history of uranium mining I have never heard about before

Completed 7/5/2025

Nuclear is Not the Solution, M.V. Ramana
★★★☆☆

Obviously went in with a negative view, but we agreed about many things (mostly just about our adversion to government and corperations). My biggest problem with it is that the nuclear advocate he argues against is that of a nuclear industry businessman, not a environmentalist citizen which I would think the more important crowd.

Completed 7/1/2025

The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka
★★★★☆

Completed 4/6/2025

How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Andreas Malm
★★★☆☆

Had interesting thoughts and brought up interesting history of both violence and "sabatage" surrounding political movements, but left me feeling unsatisfied with its final conclusion.

Completed 4/2/2025

The Stranger, Albert Camus
★★☆☆☆

Did not enjoy it

Completed Jan 2024

The Jungle, Unpton Sinclair
★★★★★

read for an english class, and very much enjoyed it. found it very interesting how this was written as a fictional narrative - from the way it was described, I thought it would be some sort of nonfiction editorial or something.
