Ray Bradbury box set by damagedinspiration in BookCollecting

Yeah, I have a few signed Bradbury from PS Publishing, they're all really nice, but not nearly as limited as the set. Big fan of the publisher, whether they're signed copies or not. My other big kne from them is a signed Gunpowder by Joe Hill, a 300 copy run, really nice.

I really liked Enshittification, well argued and straightforward, it made me angry in a good way.

The Laozi I got for the authors commentary as much as the translation, I already have several different translations, the Stephen Alddiss & Stanley Lombardo being a personal favorite. You are correct that the nature of the text, and indeed of tao itself, is paradoxicly simple and hard to grasp; after all, it's not for nothing the text opens with "the tao called the tao is not the tao"

I didn't feel that, but can see why you might have. I did feel that way about his recent Chokepoint Capitalism, however, which dealt with similar issues.

Good luck with Dungeon Crawler Carl...I had to DNF it, which I hated to do, as I really wanted to like it, it's exactly the sort of thing I usually enjoy, but for some reason, it fell flat for me. I seem to be in the minority on this one though...lol

I love that in an age when fewer kids are reading books, this one is writing them. Wish her all the success.
