Churchill's Secret War: The British Empire and the Ravaging of India during World War II

Wrote a review for

The English blithely screwed over the natives wherever they went but it's impressive how much of a shit Churchill was and how little of that made it into my education. His name should be remembered in the same way that Hitler and Stalin are.

While I liked this story quite a lot, I will admit that I had to hit up Wikipedia after finishing to make sure I had actually understood the final events.

The Atlas Paradox

Wrote a review for

This is very much a middle book - how effective (or useless) it is won't be known until I read the next book. The most interesting stuff mostly happens outside the society, with many many hints about interesting things to come.

The audiobook is (again) a pain to get into because each character has their own voice actor and, despite how good each narrator is (and they are), it's difficult for me to adapt to each voice in order to understand what they're saying. I'm positive I missed parts of the story due to shifting narrators.
