Weekend Wrap Up


Rocket Billionaires: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the New Space Race by Tim Fernholz
3 stars


There is a new class of rich that is not happy with what can be gained on Earth and are instead shooting for new ventures in space.  This book details how and why these men decided to enter into a new space race with the ultimate goal being Mars.  This had some interesting details and behind the scenes information from people who worked for these companies.  Ultimately though, this is the kind of book that falls out of date very quickly and I am not sure it will hold up for many years.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley.



How to Write an Autobiographical Novel: Essays by Alexander Chee
4 stars


I’ve not read an of Chee’s novels, which is a shame because he writes succinctly and beautifully.  I really loved this collection of essays about his early writing career, other writers who inspired him and current events that affected his work.  I don’t think that I skimmed over a single one of these and I definitely will go on to read his other work.  I received a digital ARC of this book through Edelweiss.
