    Understanding Socialism - Richard Wolff
    I'm working through all the books on the Book Clvb Feed. This one's pretty basic, but maybe a good suggestion for libs.

    The Synchronicity War Part 1 - Dietmar Arthur Wehr
    Standard military sci-fi slop, I think I got it for free from Amazon. More stilted than normal, average amount of out-of-place horniness.

    The Generalissimo - Jay Taylor
    A bio of Chiang Kai-Shek, one of the more complete ones that I'm aware of. The author is stan and state-dept creature, but the time period covered is so bonkers and packed with earthshaking events that it can't help but be interesting. Chiang Kai-Shek himself is entertaining to read about, he's such a weirdo diva.

    The Great Alone - Kristin Hannah
    Seems like evocative prose to me so far, of a family trying to make it in Alaska. I'm trying to ignore the blatant bad politics and weird stereotypes, we'll see how bad those get.
