Here’s one from my wishlist:
Title: なぜ働いていると本が読めなくなるのか | L36
Subject: History/sociology
Reason(s) for nominating: @bungakushoujo read and reviewed it and it sounded really interesting to me: “Initially, I expected a pop-science book about the brain and concentration limits based on the somewhat misleading vibe of the title and cover. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was more like reading a thesis that covered a very wide range of topics, starting with the history of reading and labor in modern Japan from the Meiji era onwards. It moves through time, finally examining the present-day labor market in Japan (and much of the developed world) and exploring what it means to exist as a worker and engage with knowledge and information in the current hyper-competitive global capitalist economy.”
