I just finished blitzing through Ascension of a Bookworm.

33 books in 29 days. Not super long ones, but it was a lot. Averaging 7.27hrs per day. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be picking up another anytime soon.

Honestly I wasn't sure if I would like it, but obviously it kept my attention.

Essentially, it explores the concept of living in the past with modern knowledge. As you might imply from the title: How far can you go from rock bottom (physically broken and socially bottom-rung) with only knowledge as your weapon?

The world also has some interesting politics (which I'm normally not a fan of in books) and then layers some fantasy as well.

Overall I quite enjoyed it.
