Ermolay is 85% done with The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market, Built an Empire, and Lost it All
It’s sort of teeters at the end but the biography is on par with something Isaacson would have written. A treat, if one is curious about the perils of the top 1%

Zooey is irritating to the point of pure rage and this family is beautifully whack. I was talking to someone about this book and they said it was just two scenes…. It does read like a play, and the action is sometimes in absence of such. Important one to read

Nonfiction, esp biographical, is not just thought provoking but sometimes it just ends up triggering a whole tangent of thoughts. Not conducive to fast reading! This memoir is that. Get ready to struggle finishing it

Ermolay is 75% done with Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age
It’s not a very good narrative and author’s voiceover is sometimes difficult to follow. It does serve as an almanac of racism and bigotry worldwide… and for someone like me, who tuned out news for years, this is helpful

I wish there was a bit more substantial foundation laid for some of these arguments, feels a bit emotional on authors part at times

Kill me now. These people suck. And they’re also racist. It is a rocky read/listening experience with some meandering but I’m a meanderer myself and I respect the tangents

This is a devastating read. I know we’re gonna figure it out but this book sets a scene for a tragedy

Been recommending left and right, it might have something to do with ubiquitous fitness pastime but it’s really a book about connecting with reality even as your body gives up on you
