TIL that there’s an open and distributed network about the books you read and like. It’s https://bookwyrm.social/ and while I don’t have lots of time to read right now I’ll be migrating my Goodreads data to BookWyrm.

The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace JohnsonKirk Wallace Johnson
Beauty, obsession, and the natural history heist of the century.

I first heard about this book on a “This American Life” episode. Both the episode and the book are well worth your time.

Quiet by Susan CainSusan Cain
The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wish I had this book 20 years ago. Susan paints a clear picture of the American Ideal and how it’s pushed as the only path to success ignoring a large portion of the population that doesn’t present as the gregarious social butterfly while highlighting the strengths of the introvert. Highly recommend this book for all personality types!
