**What Kind of Creatures Are We? by Noam Chomsky**
A short collection of essays, three on philosophy of science where Chomsky provides a background for his linguistic work as it relates to emergence of language and cognition, and one on political philosophy that derives radical democracy and anarchism from classical liberal roots. The latter stands out in particular.
**Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way, by Lao Tzu, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.P. Seaton**
Bigger than Hitler, better thans Christ by Rik Mayall
Finished:
The Pioneers (David McCullough). Decent read that details how Ohio became a state (founded on anti-slavery ideals) as well as the wider Midwest.
The Leftovers (Tom Perrotta). Decent read that uses a rapture-style event as an opportunity to delve into its themes of grief, loss and religiousity.
Simon Vs The Homosapiens Agenda (Becky Albertalli). Great coming-of-age book that tells the story of Simon who is trying to keep his sexuality a secret before being outed by a classmate.
Started:
Indelible City (Louisa Lim). Audiobook. Great listen so far about the history of Hong Kong through the lens of the 2019 protests.
A Time To Kill (John Grisham). Only started.
