September’s Books in 25 Words

Summarising in 25 words what was most noteworthy to me from the books I finished this month.

Sea of Tranquility – Emily St. John Mandel

I love time travel books, and this was a gem. Beautifully written exploration of the simulation hypothesis, touching on themes of loneliness, death, and hope.

The Givenness of Things – Marilynne Robinson

This is a collection of essays that explore important theological and philosophical questions. I amassed a bunch of insightful quotes across a range of topics.
