     @lain Latest thing I read was The Silk Roads: A New History of the World, which I got as a christmas gift
     
     It's pop history POV-switched from europe to central/west asia. Pretty interesting, good anecdotes, some dots connected that I sorta knew of but didn't understand before. At times it feels like it's overselling the premise. Soft recommend to people interested in the topic but not well versed in it

     @cell @kaia sadly, no. probably the best for that is to just go to a bookstore and look at what's there

     @lain @kaia actually let’s go beyond the mere medium of text - any photo books you would recommend?

     @lain @kaia sure thing - just like how an author ideally reads more books than they write, a photographer ought to see more photos than they take :akko_think:
