The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where We Go From Here by Hope Jahren

I read this book because someone recommended it, saying "I had no idea the government collects so much data!" *me, nodding fiercely*

Am I a nerd? Yes. Yes I am. 

I felt like I was taking a crash course on climate science, world history, and consumerism.

This book made me cry, it is not a happy read, but it's a good one. 

I almost want to go back to vegeterianism.

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

A Brief History of TimeA Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I confess I enjoyed this book, despite its age. In theory, I should have read it before Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, but maybe this was a happy reversal. It's possible I consumed Hawking's work better, since I had just come from reading Astrophysics and had somewhat prepped my mind to try and absorb high level science.

This is not my typical read, but maybe it should be. I found this to be interesting and mostly consumable.
