Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch

Book 2 of Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard series is just as exciting and engaging as the last one, as long as you don't absolutely hate pirate stuff - which I sort of do, so for me it wasn't quite as engaging, but it was still a total page-turner, which is a testament to Lynch's storytelling abilities.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024)

Creepy slow and artsy, well-acted altho some of the monologues and artistic choices tried a little too hard, overall just different  which I really appreciated, deep and heartfelt and not afraid of some discomfort.
