the moustache - emmanuel carrère
found the start slow & the writing quite detached & impersonal, so a little hard to get into. but gets v tense & anxious quickly. without wanting to give too much away, big content warning for a very graphic & quite upsetting ending.

the island of missing trees - elif shafak
a slowish start, but this one really grew in me as i read. v touching. i enjoyed the interweaving of nature & history as a way to tell the story through the tree as a pov character. i learnt a lot about cyprus & also appreciated the reading list at the end.

fascism: history & theory - david renton
didn't know DR was a swp guy starting this, but it shows in the text! fine for a broad overview of interwar left discourse on fascism, not great if you want a good analysis on fascism. i forgot i'd finished reading this twice, so make of that what you will

a book club read. ngl, i didn't really get this one, partly bc i've been too mentally frazzled to follow something with a deliberately confusing & non-linear plot. partly the writing style? but it is very atmospheric, if you like weird, creepy reads

unmasking autism - devon price
okay so this was a book i read (well, listened to) for work but i think people here would probably be interested. informative about what autism is from an experiential perspective & i think most of the exercises included are broadly helpful. i would recommend!
