I'm reading Animal Farm by George Orwell (yes, for fun; not for school.)

That's a classic and very relevant to the world today.
I am reading "Keynes: The Return of the Master" by Robert Skidelsky for enjoyment and self-education

I'm reading All of Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai. We had to pick a book off of a list for our summer reading, but by the time it gets to us rising sophomores, all the good books are gone. I wouldn't recommend this book, as the main character is highly unlikeable and the plot is somewhat incoherent.

I am reading Atlas Shrugged. It is a very good read about trains. The story could be better.

New book: New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson. Would recommend it. It's about a future afflicted by severe climate change, neoliberalism, and authoritarian power structures. The book follows a group of coders who set out to hack the world's "rule set" in order to make it more compassionate, as well as tons of other people from different walks of life in Manhattan.

Currently reading The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham. Fantasy, verging on the dark, gritty kind George R.R. Martin does very well, but a little tamer. Good read, with some very interesting characters, but quite predictable and doesn't exactly sparkle. Good fun, though. Basically about a war that gets out of hand, with skullduggery and the like.

I'm reading The Candidate by Alex Nunns. It is a book about Jeremy Corbyn and his rise to the Labour leadership.
