I'm not really enjoying the Read the World exercise. It may be bad luck, but I've had a run of books I couldn't read, or had to slog through. Maybe a mismatch between the recommender(s) taste and mine, maybe a tendency for foreign books to have esthetics I don't appreciate, who knows. But I might need a break from it. Well, at least the audiobooks are things I'm enjoying.

  1. Indexing: Reflections, Seanan McGuire (audio)

  2. +India Unbound, Gurcharan Das (India) (paper) (abandoned ~30%)
    A cross between a history, a polemic and a memoir. I had high hopes for this one, but I disliked the author's free market capitalistic politics from the start, and when he went into an apologia for the caste system, complete with disparaging remarks about how the quotas for lower-caste people in government-owned factories had destroyed productivity, I just couldn't take it anymore.

  3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, +JK Rowling (UK) (audio)

  4. Chaos Choreography, Seanan McGuire (paper)

  5. Every Heart a Doorway, Seanan McGuire (paper)
