Joshua Booker is 15% done with Axiom's End (Noumena, #1)

Has potential, but the author is clearly less interested in the mystery than I am. May finish at some point.

Joshua Booker is on page 277 of 400 of Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP

The bland writing style is starting to frustrate me. 30% quotes, and a severe lack of scene-setting. The structure can’t decide if wants to be chronological or thematic.

Joshua Booker is on page 157 of 277 of Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts

Easy reading, but a very repetitive style where each point is described in detail, explained by one or personal anecdotes, backed up by another couple examples from research, and then reiterated.

Joshua Booker is on page 132 of 472 of The Three-Body Problem (Remembrance of Earth’s Past, #1)

I’m not seeing the appeal of this story yet. Chinese tech bro does an Asimov impression...cool, I guess?

Joshua Booker is on page 94 of 323 of Borne (Borne, #1)

Very on brand for the author. Still enjoying despite how similar the creature descriptions are to Annihilation, due to the interesting light touch he layers onto a nihilist world.
