What book are you reading at the moment?

[Goodbook]

Good to know im not the only bookaholic.

Finished history of hats. Kinda interestng yet boring at the same time. Someone drew all these pictures of people wearing hats throughout history with commentary but would have been nice to have actual photos.


Now reading scratching for a living by rudd kleinpaaste.
Its a book about bugs written by an entomologist. No photos but drawings in this one as well. Its more articles and musings on bugs not history.

Taking a brief break from reading about the Vietnam War to read Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang. It is a short story (39 pages) about first contact with aliens and the difficulty of communication and language. It is what the upcoming movie Arrival is based on.

Here is a trailer for the movie:

Bought 4 books today.
But still reading the bug one.

P, heroin, cannabis, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes, everyone turns a blind eye to at border control. I mean if people want are foolish enough to smuggle those in and take them then its their early funeral.
Its the bugs they are really looking out for.. Cos spiders, wasps and fruitflies and other creepy crawlies could like, devastate the whole country and insects dont discriminate...

About 125 pages into The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. Fascinating story so far!

Asclepius

Most people will recognise the name of Socrates or Plato

But when it comes to Hermes Trismegistus, very few sew to know of him, and he is considered the grandfather of wisdom.

Mere Christianity by C.S Lewis

But I Don't See You As Asian by Bruce Reyes-Chow. Fascinating quick read about racial concepts to get one thinking.

That's right, I don't just read about crime.

 

[Ada Lovelace]

I just finished several excellent books I was reading for summer leisure, my two favorites being A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit, and Kierkegaard: A Christian Missionary to Christians by Mark A. Tietjen.

This afternoon I checked out a new eclectic batch of books, but I haven't decided which one I'll read first. If by chance anyone here has read any of them, I'm curious for your thoughts!

I'm listening to Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer.
It was a teaching series before it got made into a book, so its not an audio book of the book. But I would classify it as a book.

I have read it before but its different listening I suppose.

The other book I've started is Belching out the Devil.
Its about Coca-Cola.

 

[Goodbook]

Ok I'm not sure I'm interested in evil multi-nationals treating their contract workers really bad in columbia and killing all the trade unionists, but there you go, that's the price of fizzy water.

My next book is going to be more sedate.
It will be about the history of the book industry in nz. Called 'turning the pages' I hope there's no murders in it.

Oh didnt get round to reading the book about books as I want to read

Take a walk on the wild side by Janet balcombe.

The real life story of a meth addict rescued from hell

 

[scraparcs]

A Mother's Reckoning by Sue Klebold. It seems to be hitting home the concept of not punishing parents for the sins of their children so far.

 

[Goodbook]

But now onto Turning the Pages.
