Most of the way through "Grinnell" by John Taliaffero. It's a biography of George Bird Grinnell, founder of the Audubon Society, instrumental in getting Glacier declared a national park, and ethnographer of several Native American tribes near the end of their traditional lifestyles. An outstanding example of how much a person can do with a life.
The Problem With Everything by Megan Dahm.
i’m skimming it. It’s a series of essays about contemporary culture, victimologies the outrage community, the cancel culture, and etc. written by someone who is a feminist and who considered herself pretty much a leftie in politics. But many of today’s current issues snd actions of the progressive movement are bugging her. She is a political writer.

I can't stand Anne Lamott-- so irritating, so pretentious. The kicker for me was when I read that she said God had told her to buy a VW new beetle in that light green color. Or maybe it was that the universe told her that deserved a VW new beetle. One or the other.
