notableduck finished reading Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller
Content warning Maybe?
Loved it! Not sure how to categorize this book, a part science of (fish, rather formerly) taxonomy, part memoir “stitched up” well.

Likes computers, so I read a lot related to that -- Otherwise, in-between a graphic novel or sci-fi.

notableduck finished reading Sandman Book Three by Neil Gaiman
I have to admit, even though I liked previous ones around middle of this book is I got into real groove with sandman.
In my opinion the story of worlds end (not sure that's what its actually called) sort of teaser for the whole series -- loosely connected stories and lores that add few pieces of the puzzle of this universe.
notableduck finished reading Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh
I started this book, and it was very silly -- there I was, sitting in my doctors office contemplating do I even liked the first book, and it decides to bring out the "very serious stuff". Its worth your read, and it hits you when you least expect it.
notableduck finished reading Masala Lab by Krish Ashok
Personally I found the writing often over dramatic, neverthless I enjoyed it, sort of a cooking for geeks with an Indian cuisine focus.
