I’d say it’s a good overview of all the different things causing emissions and thus contributing to the climate crisis. It does put things into perspective nicely and I learned a few new things.
The problem is that this book commits the unforgivable sin of not backing everything up properly. This topic is too important to make claims without giving sources. It just feeds the narrative of climate change deniers, something to be avoided I’d say.
Torn on this one

This was fantastic, new favorite! Fell in love with the narrative voice, what an incredibly relatable and well written character.
Can’t wait to explore more Isherwood!

Yes it all looks like the “strange Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich”, I didn’t need a fifth reminder of this.
Sadly a disappointment, given how much I enjoyed The Colour out of Space and The Call of Cthulhu.
Maybe shorter is better with Lovecraft.
Will still give a few of his other works a go, they’re all relatively short after all

Maybe reading it in German didn’t help but boy was this narrator unbearable. A few interesting moments and thoughts were there but overall this felt like more of a chore.

Wish I’d read this sooner, should honestly be required reading in school. Basically a primer on being a decent human in your interactions with yourself and others.
Obviously not every part is equally relevant to everyone but this book does a fantastic job of talking about relationships and sexual needs/urges in a non-judgmental way.
It critically looks at established societal norms, questioning them and providing alternative thoughts in the most positive way.
