My co-worker gave this book called "Brave companions" which is a series of short chapters detailing the various exploits of historically important people.
It's been fun so far, the lack of cynicism makes it feel so quaint, but in a good way. You can tell it was written before this century.
I heard one of the other supervisors is gonna put this guy on a PIP, so I need to finish the book before we fire him lol

I'm about halfway through The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company. Good book, stand out primary source was when a mughal historian is amazed at European women not being covered in thick body hair.

Reading Annihilate by Houllebecq. Almost 200 pages in, pretty good so far.
He captures the current zeitgeist pretty well.

A lot of commentary instead of predictions so far. The main character is a middle-aged man in a failing sexless marriage who through interactions with his family and boss notices how his parent's generation seemed happier and more well adjusted, while zoomers are sexless and somehow even more screwed up than him.
His dad is a chad who enjoyed building stuff and managed to find himself a lovely woman after his wife died
His younger brother is a huge beta whose wife adopted a black kid to virtual signal
His younger sister is a tradwife with a
husband, both vote for 
His boss is also a middle-aged man in a collapsing marriage, with two kids who he describes as asexual, despite one of them being gay
Him and his wife are trying to repair their marriage after spending a decade co-habitating but not really talking to each other.

That was pretty good read when I was a late teen. Lots of edge. Wonder how it would read now in my oldstrag days.
