These threads go on for long enough, and I’m on to new books already!
I’m now reading House of Invention: The Secret Life of Everyday Products by David Lindsay.
I’m listening to Myth Conceptions, by Robert Aspirin on tape (yeah, I know, I’m going backwards from the last one, but I’ve read them all before anyway so I remember the general gist of what’s going on).
Next up for reading (unless I get something I like better) is The Energy of Life: The Science of What Makes Our Minds and Bodies Work, by Guy Brown, Ph.D.
Next up on tape is Dinosaur in a Haystack, by Stephen Jay Gould. After that is a book about Feynman, but I can’t remember the title.
I’m reading the sequel to The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, called Children of God. Sci Fi fans, The Sparrow is a must-read! Even my female-author-hating husband is enjoying it!
Our next book club book is The Talented Mr. Ripley… haven’t heard too many good things about it.
A co-worker loves Pratchett’s Discworld series so I’m reading the first one, The Color of Magic… not impressed so far.
