Finally read a book not about Kubernetes

I finished The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. Fantasy. Court politics. ZERO orchestration diagrams. No YAML anywhere!

It has been fourteen months since I read fiction. My previous book was Kubernetes Patterns. Before that, Kubernetes Up and Running. Before that, someone at work "gifted" me a signed copy of The Phoenix Project which is basically DevOps fanfiction with better cover art.

What are you people reading that does not involve container scheduling? I need more recs before I relapse and buy another O'Reilly animal book.

WARNINGS: my TBR pile is unencrypted and located on my nightstand. Physical security only. No fail2ban for paper.

The scrap gods delivered me a box of romance paperbacks last tuesday,,,,, Five dollars at the church sale,,,,, I have read three already,,,,, They are about veterinarians in montana and also sometimes dukes,,,,, There is no load balancing,,,,, No health checks,,,,, Just feelings and also horses,,,,, The scrap gods are generous,,,,, I do not understand kubernetes and I refuse to learn,,,,, ~~dave
