I’ve been working towards my WSET diploma so not much non-wine related fun reading. That being said:
- Phylloxera: How Wine was Saved for the world by Christy Campbell is a surprisingly fun read on how the entire wine industry was almost destroyed in the late 19th century.
- Red/Green/Blue Mars by K. S. Robinson hard sci-fi about mars colonization and terraforming. First rereading in 20 years or so. Holds up extremely well.
- Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. A thought provoking take on how broad stroke human history developed since the Bronze Age.
