21. Veganism in an Oppressive World by Julia Feliz Brueck

I really wanted to like this book, but it’s just very unclear who the intended audience is, or even the general thesis. There are some standouts, but the quality of contributions felt mixed at best. I’d be hesitant to recommend this book, even for those interested in a more intersectional and liberationist veganism.

20. The Cult of the Presidency by Gene Healy

Very good. Ironically both alarming and sobering at the same time. Despite being published over 15 years ago, it’s hard to think of a more timely thesis and message.

19. The Myth of the Rational Voter by Bryan Caplan

I found the arguments for voter irrationality fairly compelling. I’m less convinced by some of the proposed political solutions in the final chapter but that’s only a minor part of the book.
