Rated Digitaler Minimalismus: Besser leben mit weniger Technologie 8/10
Was a solid book, but nothing too groundbreaking. Felt like a book that was probably pretty helpful a couple of years ago, but by now, I've already heard most of the arguments and tips. But maybe that's because I've read similar books/articles in the past, so the book might still work very well for others.

Rated A Blink of the Screen: Collected Shorter Fiction 6/10
Much to my surprise, I didn’t enjoy this collection as much as most of Pratchett’s other works. Most likely, his short stories are just not my thing. In fact, the longer the story, the more I enjoyed it.<br/><br/>The Sea and Little Fishes was the clear standout for me, but I also liked The Hades Business. Stephen Briggs’s narration is excellent, as usual, and Michael Fenton Stevens handles the non-Discworld pieces well.<br/><br/>Full review: https://puf.io/books/a-blink-of-the-screen---terry-pratchett/
Rated Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town 8/10
Rated The Martian Chronicles 8/10
Bradbury shows little interest in scientific plausibility here, using Mars instead as an imaginative setting for poetic, humorous, and emotionally charged storytelling. Some elements, including the treatment of the native Martians and certain racial and gender stereotypes, have aged poorly, but the collection still held up well for me.<br/><br/>(also: that cover here is gorgeous!)<br/><br/>Full review: https://puf.io/books/the-martian-chronicles---ray-bradbury/
