 What's on your reading list at the moment ? I've got 'The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' on mine for this week.
 
 still trying to finish @LynAlden's  Broken Money :P I'm close. I just need to pull the trigger. 
 Nice, any chance there might be a Nostr Nest Broken Money Q&A with  @LynAlden ? I think that would be really awesome - I know many who have read it and are reading it, and I am sure they have questions, thoughts, opinions. I'd love to listen in. Maybe we can promote on twitter and invite more bitcoiners to join in as well. Maybe Lyn can do some giveaways of signed copies? Random ideas!  
 That would be a fun idea. I need to finish it first! If she's interested, I'm in. 
 Might just be the motivation you are looking for!  

Hi  @LynAlden , loved the talk you gave at Princeton. I recall a guy who drove up all the way interstate to hear you when he heard on Nostr you will be there. Similarly, it will be a great opportunity for global readers of Broken Money to get more 'upclose and personal on Broken Money by Lyn Alden' hosted on Nostr Nest by Derek. A rogue and real version!  Are you game ? 

(I'm just bridging ideas here but hope it materializes! )

 Frantisek Kotleta - Spad - nuclear postapocaliptic novel. In context of world situation these days, really disturbing.
 
 bit offtopic :D 
 its interesting to read from various perspective. I did a brief book review on the history of nuclear, maybe it might interest you

 Broken Money by @LynAlden 
 Planning for freedom, Mesis.

 They have an amazing amount of free PDFs but the books are lovely to have. 
 Just finished "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. It's about how society changes, without giving away too much, can recommend it. 
 I've read a Chinua Achebe book sometime back, I can't remember which one but I remembered the story telling was pretty powerful. It got me reading more on Nigeria's history. Thanks for sharing  
 when did Mandela die
