Oil! – Upton Sinclair
A classic novel that might not be read too much anymore, it has some pretty contemporary themes. Written from back when an American could also be a socialist
Fiction
Slaughterhouse-Five – Kurt Vonnegut
Vonneut’s most famous novel, largely not about a person being un-stuck in time.
The Vacuum of Space – Julia Huni
One of the worst books I have read in some time.
Rancore – Gianrico Carofiglio
After some of his non-fiction, I read a detective story by Carofiglio
Crime and Guilt – Ferdinand von Schirach
Two excellent collections of crime fiction, revolving around the lawyer who involved with them.
Dragonfired – J. Zachary Pike
It’s not so much that I had forgotten about this series, but 2024 was a year I took off from
Dracula [Daily] – Bram Stoker
This is not a review of Dracula. It’s a review of Dracula Daily
Universal Love – Alexander Weinstein
The best short story collection I have read in some time. Probably since that last one I read by this same author.
The Spinoza Problem – Irvin D Yalom
A novel that explores the strange relationship between the Nazi’s and Baruch Spinoza
Starter Villain: Anti-Hero in Training – John Scalzi
A novel about a person who isn’t a supervillain, and isnt much aspiring to be one either.
