A big flaming stink posted:It's not sf/fantasy, but I just finished reading Elixir: The American Tragedy of a Deadly Drug by Barbara J Martin and it's an excellent work of nonfiction about the mass poisonings leading to about 100 deaths caused by a drug company using diethylene glycol as a solvent for the antibiotic sulfanilamide. Diethylene glycol is a close chemical cousin of antifreeze, by the way. This was the event that lead to the modern day authority of the FDA, and this book is an exhaustive account of the greed and incompetence that lead to this and the frantic efforts of the FDA agents to find every prescription sent out of the literal brain poison Thank you for this recommendation

Cicero posted:Worth the Candle, kind of. It's extremely tonally different from other LitRPGs and has fairly strong writing even by non-web-serial standards, very heavy on the "rat" part of Ratfic though. what about Wandering Inn where the two biggest protagonists are ladies

Happiness Commando posted:This is a five star review and I can't for the life of me figure out why. "Nothing happened in this book, wont continue reading the series, 5 stars" He wants to be polite and support indie authors metrics
