2019 Book #10: "Elixir: A History of Water and Humankind" by Brian Fagan. For a book about water... it could be very dry at times! Was hoping for an examination of the relationship humans have had with water and how it affected society and growth.... and there was some of that, but there was also a lot of just simply describing the water systems they used. Which is interesting to think of the feats of engineering and innovation, but it is rather dry to read.


2019 Book #11: "Appointment with Death" by Agatha Christie. Randomly got another one of these.... it was alright. I like her style....

2019 Book #12: "Hercule Poirot's Christmas" by Agatha Christie. I think I maybe have a new favourite out of hers.... Always amazing how she can create a whole cast of interesting characters in every book....


2019 Book #13: "Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other" by Sherry Turkle. The book was divided into two halves, the first talking about humans relationship with "sociable robots", and the second about the internet and constant connection. A lot of interesting things to think about. The book was written in 2011, though, so it already feels wildly out of date, talking about things like BlackBerry and MySpace..... also Facebook has changed a lot since then too....
