Do any of you just buy books to add them to your library?...

The name speaks for itself. Definitely worth to read, interesting coverage of neoliberalism.

I realised the other day that I’ve enjoyed lots of murder mystery games and shows, but I’ve hardly read any mystery novels. The only ones that come to mind are Altered Carbon and some of the Discworld Watch novels (all great!)....
