Pamela Paul: 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet (2021, Crown Publishing Group, The) 4 stars

Not a bad read at all! Not just a "kids these days" whinefest (though it can veer into that territory), actually has some smart things to say about the ways the Internet makes our lives better, and the new problems it creates for us. Do check this one out if you're curious. I didn't end up finishing it though -- not because I feel I've seen everything it has to say, but simply because I feel my reading time is better spent elsewhere.

Joshua Becker: Things That Matter (2022, Crown Publishing Group, The) 5 stars

Nah, got through the third chapter and really got the vibe that nothing in here was really going to rock my world. Kinda standard white anglo-saxon protestant inspirational stuff. Some good wisdom in the first two chapters but then very quickly drops off in substance. Definitely have some interest in these principles, but I don't think this book will really provide me with much meat to chew on. Moving on
