What are you reading?
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Years of Rice and Salt - Kim Stanley Robinson
"I am a strange loop" by Douglas Hofstadter. The guy who wrote "Godel Escher Bach".
Read both of those. They started me on the road to atheism.
@tnorman1236 why is that, if you don't mind asking?
@IamNobody It was the beginning, for me, of trying to think more scientifically, instead of mystically. I had already left Christianity many years before, but I had this vague idea of a power, or an unknown source, and a soul. These books started disabusing me of this notion.
I'm currently reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Up next, I will most likely read either The Graveyard Book or Norse Mythology, both by Neil Gaiman.
Two of my faves….enjoy!
Nostromo, by Joseph Conrad. Was going through my shelves and found an old copy that had belonged to my dad.
I'm finishing USA Culture Smart, Vocational Psychology, and Common Sense by Thomas Paine. After that, I have like ten more books on queue because I know too little about natural systems, even to this day, and I am starved for thinking internally. These days, no explanation is ever enough.
While I prefer paperbacks, PDF's available to download on the internet can be quite useful. Found one on the US Constitution that I was reading.
The Man with the Golden Gun. After this, I'll only have one book left and then I will have finished all 14 of Ian Fleming's original 007 novels.
I actually read Dan Brown's books, Origin and The Lost Symbol in a matter of 3 months which is very odd for me! I am also reading Dr. Wayne Dyer's book, You'll Believe it when You See It. I been reading that for almost a year now. I been trying to get through his chapter on Forgiveness and I just find some of his ideas and words hard to accept. I think I have thrown the book across the room at least 9 times! I guess I need more time to let this anger go before I will be more open and understanding. Wish me luck!
Good luck!!!
Currently reading Killers of the Flower Moon, by David Grann, Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton, the Outsider by Stephen King, and No Middle Name by Lee Child. I also have Leonardo da Vinci, which is a huge, lovely book, but I only read it when I have time to read and look through it.
'Palestine the Reality- The Inside Story of the Balfour Declaration 1917-1938' by J.M.N. Jeffries (1939)
Origin by Dan Brown was interesting (not like some of his previous books); "Doc" a book about Doc Holiday was fascinating. Otherwise a lot of cozy mysteries and historical romance.
@Purplegirl1974 I joined a cozy mystery bok club. I am really enjoying getting to know new authors, as well as being able to discuss the books.
