Thank you for this. I don’t really have the energy for more books.
My backlog is enormous already, so I listen to them in my car… cliff notes is helpful, lol, but a long road trip is a great way to learn some shit!
As a side note, the drunken botanist is an amazing book but not for audiobook because it has drink recipes. You miss half the book ignoring the recipes while driving, and I hear they make great drinks. But napoleans buttons was so good, about the impact of specific materials on the world and how those interplay with the environment around them (napoleon’s buttons’ title is reference to a potentially apocryphal accounting that the cold, something they hadn’t planned one being as bad as it was, froze and failed the leaded buttons on their uniforms, causing them to freeze to death)
tldr: here is a nice review, that summarizes the most important points https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-malleus-maleficarum
