Dominique LAPIERRE et Larry COLLINS - Cette nuit la liberté.

Un gros rhume qui se traîne... alors je relis un bouquin de mon adolescence - pas trop compliqué. C'est de l'histoire racontée par des journalistes, avec donc pas mal d'imprécisions, mais ça se laisse lire.

Finished #audiobook Origins by Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith. I hoped for better. Quite a poor narrator and a fairly dull history of cosmological discoveries from the past to 2022, with some attempts at humor sprinkled here and there that fall flat. If you've read other cosmological #nonfiction #science #books you've probably read better. I certainly have. #bookstodon

#JustFinished Womb City by Tlotlo Tsamaase

I understood that this book was likely going to be disturbing. About 20% of the way in, it got weird. Then it got weirder. Having finished the book, I understand why it was classed as SciFi, but for a big chunk of it, I was reading paranormal horror.

The story is set in Botswana, where the author is from. It is primarily a book about misogyny and feminism, with some
