The Structure of Scientific Revolutions: 50th Anniversary Edition by Thomas S. Kuhn
3.0
A must read. But so badly written 😔
Something Like Winter by Jay Bell
4.0
Read in combination with [b:Something Like Summer|10213367|Something Like Summer (Seasons, #1)|Jay Bell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1418858894s/10213367.jpg|15086656], this is definitely a 5 star (ie a book I would be happy with if it were all I had on a desert island). In short, it is supposed to be the other character's perspective on the same story. It is actually so much more than that... A beautiful insight about the complexity of coming to terms with one's homosexuality, struggling against interiorized homophobia... And a lovely story, beautifully written. I can't wait to read more books by Jay Bell.
The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash by Charles R. Morris

pouah :( I suppose you should have a few notions of basic economics before you even try to read this book... I did learn a few interesting things even though I'm aware that I understood something like 10% of what it is all about...
