I finished We are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby. It was funny. I laughed out loud in many parts of the book. I have a lot started but not much done right now. Hoping to finish the Facts of the Matter, which I won in a contest here soon. Not close in my other books. Hoping to read more later today.

I finished the Facts of the Matter today. It contained a desire and practical guide to balance the need to protect the environment with the need for energy and development of natural resources. He advocates for a lot of common sense ideas and recommends that non-political views need to happen to achieve the goals he pursues.

This sounds very interesting.

It was pretty interesting. It's on my kindle so not sure how I could loan it to you.
