I've just finished this book and I cannot begin to describe the amount of respect and admiration I have for the author, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. "Infidel" is an autobiography, and a testament of how resillient and a strong a woman can be. I have always ...

Anyone else fascinated by Mary Magdalene? I always have been, and especially since texts have been discovered which are purported to be gospels according to Mary. While I'm not convinced there was a real historical Jesus, it's fascinating for me to...

Just finished God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens. It was a great read. I would highly recommend it.

I'm currently reading "The Power Worshippers" by Katherine Stewart. Is anyone else reading this? Seems like a great non-fiction book to discuss here with its meaty contents. I'm only a few hours into it, but I've just got to share that this book ...

I highly recommend the new Jo Nesbo : Knife. He is my favorite author. This one is mesmerizing. If you never read Nesbo before I suggest to start from the first one up to this one, because it's the life of Harry Hole and all the characters all along....

Stephen Fry- Mythos I'm ashamed to say that I never knew much about Greek mythology until now. It never interested me, and I probably wouldn't have bought the book if Stephen Fry wasn't the author. But I have to say that I absolutely loved it. It's ...

You may be aware that large bookstores have separate sections these days for 'young adult' readers. It's a newish marketing thing. Now I'm not knocking it outright. In fact I just finished "The Hate You Give' by Angie Thomas, a YA book and very...

At Home: a short history of private life by Bill Bryson. An enjoyable book about everyday things we don't even think about.

Way back in 1977 Arthur Herzog wrote a SciFi book called Heat about runaway global warming due to combined interconnected causes that fed each other. He's starting to look like a prophet.

One down, four more to go. The cover was brand new few weeks ago !!! Great read after watching carefully the DVDs. It helps to create new scenes in my mind based on the actual characters for tons of details left out by HBO series

I might be a bit late to the party, but for those who like Scandinavian crime thrillers (or any type of mystery/crime books), have you read Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series? I found Thirst (the 11th in the series I believe) at a bus stop and decided ...

Posted by dfrossI enjoyed "The Dictionary of Lost Words", a historical fiction about the creating of the Oxford-English Dictionary and the fight for women's suffrage in the UK.

Posted by ReignmondA highly biased selection.

Posted by ReignmondI read this back in 2018. Absolutely loved it. It is an oddly small sized book, so it is good to travel with. [amazon.com]

Posted by ReignmondA short Sci-Fi that is quite good even though it will only take about an hour to read. It is also kinda cheap. [amazon.com]

Posted by ReignmondLooking again at this book reminds me that I wanted to re-listen to it again.

Posted by ReignmondActually read this some time ago (46 years) while trying to figure out why I simply could not believe in Jesus or God or anything else I was being told by Bible Thumpers.

Posted by ReignmondThis is one of my very most favorite books.
