The Good:
- Thought it would be trivial and surface-level (audiobook cover is to blame), ended up being a solid reinforcement of beauty, necessity, and hard-won critical thinking
- Described books in a way that really resonated with me and make me feel more alive

The Bad:
- lots and lots of book recos
- felt like a long-ish youtube video of someone who really loves books and loves / recos the same books I love (okay, so not necessarily a bad rhing, per se, just not very widening in terms of recos since we have the same taste?)
- Recos were limited (mostly) to Western authors

Very encouraging though! Was pleasantly surprised by this one
