MyLibrarian: Andrea
I love a story with witty characters, dry humor, satire, or inventive new worlds. It's all about great world building—whether textured and elaborate like Tolkien, or absurd like Douglas Adams.
My favorite genres are sci-fi, comedy, biographies (especially comedians!) and plus whatever non-fiction catches my eye.

Not My Father's Son
Alan Cumming
A beloved star of stage, television, and film, Alan Cumming is a successful artist whose diversity and fearlessness is unparalleled. His success masks a painful childhood growing up under the heavy rule of an emotionally and physically abusive father—a relationship that tormented him long into adulthood. When television producers in the UK approached him to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, Alan enthusiastically agreed. He hoped the show would solve a family mystery involving his maternal grandfather, a celebrated WWII hero who disappeared in the Far East. But as the truth of his family ancestors revealed itself, Alan learned far more than he bargained for about himself, his past, and his own father.

Because Internet
Understanding The New Rules Of Language
Gretchen Mcculloch
Even the most absurd-looking slang has genuine patterns behind it. Internet linguist Gretchen McCulloch explores the deep forces that shape human language and influence the way we communicate with one another. She explains how your first social internet experience influences whether you prefer "LOL" or "lol," why ~sparkly tildes~ succeeded where centuries of proposals for irony punctuation had failed, what emoji have in common with physical gestures, and how the artfully disarrayed language of animal memes like lolcats and doggo made them more likely to spread.
Cultish
The Language Of Fanaticism
Amanda Montell
What makes "cults" so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has…
A light read about the power of language. Very little politics.

Here she relates her moral awakening, her departure from the church, and how she exchanged the absolutes she grew up with for new forms of warmth and community.
An absolute MUST READ. Phelps-Roper strikes a perfect balance, presenting her estranged family as human, not incomprehensible monsters, without excusing any of their beliefs or actions.

A World Without Work
Technology, Automation, And How We Should Respond
Daniel Susskind
Drawing on almost a decade of research in the field, Susskind argues that machines no longer need to think like us in order to outperform us, as was once widely believed.

This changed the way I think about the concept of work.

The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck
A Counterintuitive Approach To Living A Good Life
Mark Manson
This book is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better.

Science Fiction
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
Douglas Adams
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency: We solve the whole crime. We find the whole person. Phone today for the whole solution to your problem (Missing cats and messy divorces a specialty).

Douglas Adams
Mere seconds before the Earth is to be demolished by an alien construction crew, journeyman Arthur Dent is swept off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher penning a new edition of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’.

This book is like poetry. Beautiful—but don't expect a reliable narrator, or a linear plot.
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming and media–has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future?
Several People Are Typing

That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization.� Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit.

The author calls this a "pop song" of a book, and I agree! Good for fans of Stargate SG-1.

Andy Weir
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive–and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet.
Probably my favorite "hard sci-fi" novel. I found it much more engaging than the movie adaptation.
Futuristic Violence And Fancy Suits

The plot has a few supernatural elements, but this was really a domestic drama about mothers and daughters.
Shit Cassandra Saw
Gwen E. Kirby
From Hellenic times to today, these hilarious, heartwarming and hotheaded stories of women at their breaking points introduces an unforgettable cast of characters, including virgins who escape from being sacrificed, witches who refuse to be burned, whores who aren’t ashamed and many others.
These short stories were all over the place! My favorite was probably the radioactive cockroach women, but the more down-to-earth stories were also engaging.
The Book Of Form And Emptiness
Ruth Ozeki
When he begins hearing voices one year after his father’s death, 13-year-old Benny Oh, seeking refuge in the library, meets a colorful cast of characters, including his very own Book, a talking thing, who narrates Benny’s life and teaches him to listen to the things that truly matter.

A classic ghost story. The house felt like its own character!
John Dies At The End

This may be the story of John and David, a drug called soy sauce, and other-worldly beings invading the planet. Or, it may be the story of two beer-drinking friends who live in an unnamed Midwestern town and only think something horrific is going on. But the important thing is, according to the narrator, "None of this is my fault."
B-movie interdimensional horror, with a writing style similar to a ruder (and less British) Douglas Adams.

This supernatural mystery set in the world of Sherlock Holmes and Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos features a brilliant detective and his partner as they try to solve a horrific murder.
