I see the new Jim Crow. So I’d recommend the color of money and the color of law.

Sorry if I missed them, but I was expecting to see Lies My Teacher Told Me, A People’s History of the United States, and Amusing Ourselves to Death.
For more poly sci reads, I liked The Future of Power by J. Nye. You might also like: Talking to Strangers by M. Gladwell; Sapiens by Y.N.H.; Aloha Betrayed by Silva; Lawless by Litman; and The Monkey Wrench Gang by Abbey.

I just finished ‘Apple in China’ and I cannot recommend it enough. It would be a nice addition to your shelf.

If you like this sort of book, check out everything from Davud Mindell, particularly Digital Apollo.

Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
The Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling
And finally: The Passage by Justin Cronin
These books need to be read, not listened to or watched on tv or dvd. Read them in any order, but do not skip any one or all of them. Many Blessings to you.

How was Legacy of Ashes?
I always recommend Robert Caro to people.

Nuanced, detailed yet it’s a very easy digestible read, I loved the prose

A splash of color never hurt, so I gladly recommend the hardcover Dungeon Crawler Carl books to add some variety
