Austin Kleon: Keep Going (2019, Workman Publishing Company)

A bestselling guide to staying creative in good times and bad.

Review of 'Keep Going' on 'Goodreads'

This is basically just a collection of inspiration quotes around the subject of just getting shit done even though life is hard and society is a total garbage fire.

And that’s exactly what I needed right now. A lovely little hug for the soul.

Clive Cussler: Treasure (Clive Cussler) (Paperback, 1989, Pocket)

Review of 'Treasure (Clive Cussler)' on 'Goodreads'

This is my first Clive Cussler book (although I've loved the films of Sahara and Raise the Titanic). And all throughout, I kept thinking: is this what it's like to read a Chuck Tingle book? Like, every time Dirk Pitt arrived on the page, Cussler would go into such intense details about his rugged good looks, his cold, opal eyes, and his masculine prowess that I actually started to feel uncomfortable. Do you need me to leave the room, Clive?

Also, we can add this to the list of books that use black coffee as a shorthand for telling us how incredibly manly the hero is.
