What is everyo9ne reading

What is everyone reading at present?

 

I've half way through reading Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris, and before that Storm Front, the first in the Harry Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

I just finished The End of Food by Paul Roberts and PopCo by Scarlett

Thomas--both good. I just started Vegan: A New Ethics of Eating

because there are so many references to it in other things I read, and

The Force of Kindness by Sharon Salzberg because it was recommended to

me.

While waiting for the flat tire to get fixed all afternoon, I

finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell -- fascinating stuff about

cultural underpinnings of behavior. He tells good stories and makes

seductive connections and uses sweeping generalizations and yet makes

a good case. For instance, rice-farming cultures work 3000 hours a

year, so their proverbs have to do with working hard (get up before

dawn every day to be prosperous), and the cultural tendency is to

persevere more than other cultures. Also, numbers in Asian languages

are more logical than in Western languages (ten-three and three-tens

instead of thirteen and thirty, respectively).

 

The next one I'm eager to read is Growing green : animal-free

organic techniques / by Jenny Hall and Iain Tolhurst.

Hi Whitty.

unfortunately, the series lasts waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay toooo long, and he ended up dying before finishing it.

 Thanks. Did you watch Pratchett on the tv last week. It is to do with Alzheimer's. I saw only about the last five minutes, but the second part is on tonight I think.

 

I've read a few Pratchett's - the Tiffany ones, and Good Omens.

 My daughter loves the Wheel of Time series, and my husband has enjoyed the few he has so far read. What is the Necrophenia one about?

While waiting for the flat tire to get fixed all afternoon, I finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell -- fascinating stuff about cultural underpinnings of behavior. He tells good stories and makes seductive connections and uses sweeping generalizations and yet makes a good case. For instance, rice-farming cultures work 3000 hours a year, so their proverbs have to do with working hard (get up before dawn every day to be prosperous), and the cultural tendency is to persevere more than other cultures. Also, numbers in Asian languages are more logical than in Western languages (ten-three and three-tens instead of thirteen and thirty, respectively) .

 

The next one I'm eager to read is Growing green : animal-free organic techniques / by Jenny Hall and Iain Tolhurst.

He has a rare variant called PCA, it affects his ability to read/recognise words, letters just seem to dissapear.

 I thought his Alzheimer's was a rare form which didn't affect his memory - more alance and agility.

first books are great.

a tad long...and Robert Jordan has issues with women apparently ...well, had, as he died.

unfortunately, the series lasts waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay toooo long, and he ended up dying before finishing it.

i really wasn't thrilled with the last few books in the series.

but, first books are very very good

 Oh dear. I must admit the books look long, and there are quite a few, which is why I haven't started reading them yet.
