Chrystal is 20% done with Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World
So thoroughly absorbing; and WOW, this man can write! Meticulous research, passionately presented, complex processes beautifully, often poetically, explained.

Chrystal is 50% done with What's Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies
This is so very good. Should be taught in all secondary schools. And it’s loaded with cute pics and graphics.

Chrystal is starting Door Number Three
Halfway through and am enjoying this thoroughly. Packed full of intriguing ideas, zippy thought-provoking dialogue, excellent writing, philosophical. . . the best kind of speculative SF.

Chrystal is 15% done with Claws of the Panda: Beijing's Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada
Have only just finished the Intro and first chapter. But already, am muttering under my breath: bloody hell, Canadians need to read this. To be made aware is to be forewarned, so, yea, if you're Canadian (or any member of the Five Eyes nations), do make sure to pick up this book.

Chrystal is 30% done with The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man (The Hundred-Year-Old Man, #2)
This is bloody hilarious. It's fun that current political players are spoofed here. Laugh out loud funny.

Chrystal is on page 50 of 336 of The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google
Shall continue to read this to the end, because Scott Galloway highlights aspects of THE FOUR that I did not know. However, am increasingly frustrated by the author's failure to use analogy correctly - e.g., he quotes Carl Sagan and then incorrectly applies that quote to an argument he's trying to make. Sloppy.
