To John Green's The Anthropocene Reviewed, I give it 5 stars for making the world feel less lonely for a couple hundred pages. If you grew up reading John Green and want to know which book it reminds me of, it reminded me the most of his brother Hank Green's An Absolutely Remarkable Thing series. It felt completely unlike the fiction that Green has written, but it read with the comfort of a blog or a really long and vulnerable Instagram caption. It reminded me to celebrate the small things in life that make me really happy, even if they are a little bit flawed.
But for the moments we don't think we want to celebrate, like the pandemic and staying home during it, it was a great reminder that not everything is all bad. Despite everything, there's probably at least one small thing to you can celebrate about it.
Small word of warning: Reading this book may lead to long spirals down Wikipedia rabbit holes.
