My current reading list

This is a list of books I have purchased and am either currently reading or plan to read soon:

Read:​

Nuclear War: A Scenario
By Annie Jacobsen
Nuclear War: A Scenario

I won't give away any spoilers here.
I'll have to say I was originally sceptical about how realistic the few details of the core scenario that were given to the public were. It takes until close to the end of the book for the reasoning behind the initial attack scenario to come out. And I can totally see how such a scenario would be plausible, though hopefully improbable...
I had watched her interview with Lex Fridman before reading and can recommend this too, again no spoilers are given in her interview.
Overall a book that most people would find rather depressing.

In progress:​

The Doomsday Machine - Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner
By Daniel Ellsberg
The Doomsday Machine - Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner

Next up:​

So why not just put this list on GoodReads?​

I've used GoodReads in the past but this article fairly well sums up my current feelings on GoodReads without me having to write the same things again.
Goodreads Is Terrible for Books. Why Can’t We All Quit It?

TL;DR GoodReads is a dumpster fire without moderation.
