Finished The Circle and Physics and Philosophy.
Now reading On Such a Full Sea and Galileo's Dialogues. Planning on Seveneves next, if I can find a copy.
Technocreep by Thomas P. Keenan
I've been reading Plato's Euthypro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo. Phaedo has me bogged down. It just doesn't hold my attention like the other chapters.
The Complete Short Stories of Flannery O' Connor
I read 6 currant Books this week about the Holocost,cannot believe the Nazis did what they did:(
Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell. This is the last of Woodrell's novels I have been privileged to read....I waited to read it because I saw the film when it was released and thought that that fact may have a negative impact on the reading experience.....the exact opposite occurred. Films and books are practically unrelated (films made from books). I guess I state the obvious but a book is so much richer and can fill one completely. To use a music analogy, a book is a chord and a film is a series of single notes. I like the film Winter's Bone a lot.......the book....well, it's a book.
Finally finished On Such a Full Sea. I did not like it. Not that it was bad, it just didn't capture me at all, and I didn't like the narration method.
Read Orange is the New Black over the last few days, and I liked it. The show is definitely only loosely based on the book.
My signed copy if Seveneves should be here tomorrow or the day after!
I am undecided whether to start reading in this summer days...Nortangher abbey of J.Austen or Marina of C.L. Zafon....mmmm....your advice?
"All The Light We Cannot See," by Anthony Doerr, this year's Pulitzer Prize winner. A story of WW II through the eyes of a German boy and a blind French girl. Outstanding writing, beautifully descriptive, and one of the best books I've ever read.
