(3.8) I wavered here. It’s the third book of the trilogy and protagonists can only dodge death so often before belief gets UNsuspeneded, but this last work is an overall good effort. Perhaps too many battle scenes with men on the shield wall (the last ...more |

(3.8) This is a thorough well crafted look at the initial dotcom Greek tragedy:hubris takes a great fall—to the tune of about a trillion dollars. But here’s my sideways take, I’d heard about this book and grabbed it on KindleUnlimited and dove right i ...more |

(3.0) So the comedian Jeselnick has this book on his top ten of 2025 and I’ve liked the guys previous lists and he seems thoughtful… Among Friends is oh so literary fiction. A genre I have little use for and this work betrays many of the tropes that ca ...more |

| As a political jeremiad, cry de coeur, manifesto, Atlas is more prescient today than when it was written in '57. Its calls for the greatness of capitalism, the misguided attempts to sacrifice for others, and the victimization of those who achieve can ...more | |

| (3.4)Kress is a top notch writer of short fiction and this tale doesn’t cut corners. It’s emotionally complex and it draws a sharp line in how it represents human and alien culture…one could quibble about the evolutionary thesis posited but that etho ...more | |

Obviously they're going to be a lot less limited in publication than fiction, and I hardly have to explain why. I just don't quite understand why no decent results come back when I Google "top nonfiction picks published in 2025"... before 2024, I'd always find at least a few I was interested in each month, but ever since then, not so much. Is it just me? If it is, throw some suggestions my way? I'd greatly appreciate it if you know of any.
