April readings

I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai - no outstanding literary merits, but impressive from a cultural and social perspective.
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - a dystopian novel; I liked the end of the story. But that final addition of so called historical notes simply ruined everything.
Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug is a niche book about usability in software applications. Steve Krug is hilarious.
Shock by Robin Cook - a medical thriller, in which the style was a real turn off. I'm a sucker for unexpected or open endings, so the end saved the book.
Interesting books nicely presented.

A fine selection of books. I've read and watched Handmaids tale - I like Atwood as an author. I'm trying to read 2 books/month this year so you're doubling that!

@christinav Nice goal! I keep it very basic every year. My goal is at least one book per month. Whatever's beyond that, my gain.

How interesting to see that collection. I am not a fan of Atwood at all and agree - historical notes at the end a perfect way to totally ruin it!
Steve Krug sounds worth a try.

The only author I have read is Robin Cook, I've read a lot of his books but not this one

I agree with your comments on the Malala book. I am not familiar with Steve Krug.

I love reading your short summary/impression on books. So far I haven’t read any of the books you have presented and that’s great 😊
