That was intense. Even if you solved the issue of Rikers it wouldn't really matter. I finished the book and then investigated volunteer opportunities for the local jail.

Finished dao de jing last night. Not sure what I read which may be the point. The value of a book is not the words on the page, but the kdeas surrounding it.

Right book for the moment very insightful and informative read.

I am reading The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan which was short-listed for the Arthur C. Clarke award this year. The irony is that dystopias are always so efficient and effective in books (like this one), but our real-life one looks like it's going to be a sh*t-show.

This is the year that I will finish it this year. Only about 210 pages to go.
What always strikes me about Caro is how light and easy he is to read. The descriptions of how LBJ operated are quite literally thrilling. How Caro is able to distill so much about such a complicated man is phenomenal and draws you in. There's just so much to read that you need to take a break.
