The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality by Katharina Pistor
Did not finish book. Stopped at 1%.

this book gets too technical when i feel like it could have been explained in much simpler terms. not sure if i'll return to this.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.

promising start, but it got bogged down by the jargon towards the middle. not sure if i'll return to this.

Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions by Batja Mesquita

going to return to this later. i want to focus on japanese books for now.
