One of my goals for this year is to read more books about the climate crisis. I picked up this Dutch books at the library a while ago and today I had to return it so I finally finished it. The title translates to "Apparent temperature" and it is a collection of four interviews with Dutch weather presenters about their thoughts on climate change.
I thought it was a pretty recent book, but it turned out the be written in 2018. Maybe (quite likely) the people interviewed have since then changed some of their opinions and maybe even changed some things in their personal lives. Reading this now, they seem far too optimistic about the government taking the climate crisis seriously and also some of their personal "sacrifices" seem very minimal, such as "only flying once a year for going on a holiday".
So this one may be a bit outdated, but it still reminded me of how important the fight against climate change still is. Even when it is no longer possible to actually stop the climate from changing, at least there will be more time to adapt and the effects will hopefully be less serious.
What is a book about the climate crisis that you would recommend?

I'm currently reading The Hobbit for the fifth time and once again really enjoying it✨ The copy I'm reading is actually a slightly battered film edition, but this Dutch edition I also have is much nicer.
I remembered the book mostly as a quest story, but I was pleasantly surprised by the humour. Especially the "good morning" scene in the beginning is such a fun way of showing how British people can be quite indirect sometimes.

Finally giving Good Omens a try! This one has been on my shelf for a couple of years, but somehow I'm never really in the mood to pick it up. This month I have to read a book set in London for my online book club, so it's a good reason as any to read this one at last. I'm curious; I've enjoyed one book by Neil Gaiman but another not so much, and the only book I've read by Terry Pratchett (The Colour of Magic) wasn't really my cup of tea either... Still, I'm trying to be open-minded.
