The Anthropocene Reviewed
Every human should read this book. It's so moving to read about John's struggles and how he's overcome challenges, and instead of a memoir, it's couched in interesting perspectives about all kinds of different subjects. If you are struggling, read this book.

Tetris: The Games People Play by Box Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My master's degree is in leisure studies, so this graphic novel, about play and the way our brains work when doing games and puzzles, was fascinating to me. That's only part of this book -- the main topic is the development of Tetris, and the battle for the games' rights.
