Sheldon Rapoza

Sheldon Rapoza2nd part of The Strain trilogy. Just as good if you liked the first one.

Sheldon RapozaThe “explosive” memoir of former Facebook employee Sarah Wynn-Williams. It’s very difficult to discern fact from fiction in this book, and I’m someone who is deeply critical of these companies. Facebook has literally thousands of people working on politics, public policy, govt, etc at all times and she was the tip of that spear. Why would “social media” companies need an army of people to influence world leaders in the first place?? I don’t doubt a lot of this story is true but it happened in plain sight.

Sheldon RapozaI wanted to like this more as it has potential. I love the “fable” style of books as it’s an easy to way to digest life lessons but I couldn’t get into this one. I think at an earlier time in my life it would have landed more.

Sheldon RapozaAwesome vampire book that really will keep you on the edge of your seat in the beginning as you try to figure out what happened. Does get graphic at times and I think you’d need a bit of a sci-fi or fantasy tilt to enjoy.

Sheldon RapozaThe latest book from Johann Hari on obesity and the “magic pill” Ozempic. Per usual, Hari immerses himself in the story and research and always has stories from his real life to relate. I’d been trying to figure out why this book wasn’t getting the same popularity as his previous and after reading it’s more clear - many people in the US are still brainwashed about the food we eat. Processed foods that many of us grew up on, me included, are poison to the body but we don’t call it that. It’s my generations cigarette smoking. Great piece of writing.

Sheldon RapozaThe story of a man living off grid nearly his entire life. I love stories like this, but the book just was not entertaining. I wanted to like it more.
