Any good titles to share? Or if you don't want to post the titles of what you're reading now, any good nonfiction titles you recommend in general?

God, I think I might hate the article even more than I hated the actual museum! It's supposed to be built on or near the site where some Neanderthal remains were found, but they never actually explain any of this at the museum itself. Instead, they waste time and resources on some stupid presentation about dinosaurs.

But, think of all the kids who are so excited to see the presentation about dinosaurs!

See, for kids, it makes at least some sense. Now explain to me why this is pushed so aggressively on foreign adults visiting Croatia.

Minu Ukraina: lubaduste maa by Jaanika Merilo
Ukrainlastel on üks omadus, mida tihti alahinnatakse: uskumatu visadus protestida, kui nende kannatlikkuse mõõt ükskord täis saab. Oodatakse, vaadatakse, antakse veel paar võimalust ja viimaks öeldakse - aitab. Ühe tuntud analüüstiku teooria järgi on Ukraina vähemalt Euroopas ainuke maa, kus võidab alati opositsioon. Okei, ei õnnestunud, reboot. Proovime uuesti teistmoodi. Ei õnnestunud teistmoodi, proovime kolmandat moodi, ja seda kõike uskumatu visaduse ja järjekindlusega ning alla andmata.► Show Spoiler
Ukrainlased suudavat taluda paljut - elada korruptsiooniga, vaadates, kuidas rikastub niigi rikas eliit, taluda ebaõiglust ja ebavõrdsust. Aga vägivalda ei taluta. See oli punane joon, mille ületamine tähendus muutumise hetke kõigile. Tagasi minna polnud enam võimalik.► Show Spoiler
