Light Bringer by Pierce Brown. It’s part of the Red Rising series and it’s awesome.

1846 historical account by Francis Parkman called "The Oregon Trail", narrated by Frank Muller. Francis was around 24 at the time and as a white male, certainly was influenced by the prevailing views of his time, but lived, feasted and hunted with Native Americans and directly observed their culture. He captures an era of American History in a unique way.

Plus, it isn't so good that you can't fall asleep. +8, would definitely do again.

Mother of Learning. It's one of the best Rat Fics I've ever read, now in audio form.

Currently I'm listening to "What It Means to Be Moral" by Phil Zuckerman on Audible.

I like how it contrasts why some people might do the things that they do based on their beliefs and what it can lead a person to do or not do. It doesn't force any conclusions on to you but it does make you think about things to come to your own conclusions.

The audiobook I'm listening to currently is pretty good: "The beginning after the end". But that's not what I'm trying to convince you to hear.

Go listen or Read "Cradle" by Will Wight. That's a probably a 9/10. I can't recommend it enough.

Both are fantasy novels, where the main characters gradually get stronger in principle.

Also: Travis Baldree is the GOAT for reading books.
