Lets share what we’re all reading at the moment fellow watchcrunchers ☕️

It’s great to pick up new books to read and I feel everyone at WC has some interesting literature to share ☕️☕️☕️

Mine right now is Peter Zeihan’s The End of the World is Just the Beginning. He’s a famous geopolitical analyst who I first heard on a few podcasts like Joe Rogan and his worldview and insights are quite interesting and based on country resources and trade.

Nice watch 🤜🤛

The author, Mona Simpson, is the sister of the late Apple founder Steve Jobs though she didn't meet him until she was 26. Jobs had an unconventional and often corrosive relationship with many of his family members, employees and rivals.

Image

Also a shameless plug for my wife who is a friend of Simpson and is acknowledged in the book for her contributions within the mental health field.

Perhaps a strange pairing but two things I love nonetheless.

I'm a little past the middle of "Make Room! Make Room!", the book that inspired Soylent Green. Veeeeery loosely inspired. There are Soylent Steaks in the beginning, but they aren't people, they are Soybean and Lentil.

It's a small world, alright. I grew up right outside of Worpswede and left for Hamburg around 1989.

Guns of August is a must-read, stands with any of the best McCoullough out there

Read Francis Fukuyama's End of History right after this for a hilarious degree of pendelum swing in perspectives

Don Paterson's Rain.

Here's your book back, world. Good story.

I underlined a few things. Sorry.

The second book is pretty good too but iirc after that it gets kinda weird, haven’t read them since college 😅. The movies were my favorite though 🔥.

I love the Guns of August! I remember borrowing it from the city library and I was the first person to borrow it since the 70s 😁
