I Know What I Saw: Modern-Day Encounters with Monsters of New Urban Legend and Ancient Lore by Linda S. Godfrey
informative
medium-paced
2.5
Perhaps most notable for putting forth the notion that Enkidu is a (proto?) Sasquatch figure. Generally lacking a sense of journalistic skepticism, or critical analysis of reports beyond "this element of x sighting is consistent with y sighting". Attempts to make up for this dearth with an overabundance of dog people.

I love this book so much but I haven't had time to read it in ages so I'll just have to come back to it again.

A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America by Carol Leonnig, Philip Rucker
informative
medium-paced
4.0
A little too willing to sympathize with American imperialism just because Trump is bad at negotiation, and with nasty people just because they aren't Trump, but generally decent reporting.
