About to dig into Henry Adams ‘Mont Saint-Michel and Chartres’ which I was finally able to track down a copy of. The high quality, and rare use of negatives for printing, photography alone is worth owning a copy for.
Even more photograph heavy is Clarence John Laughlin’s !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . which I recently finished absorbing. Equally interesting is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
I’m quite curious to see what appeals to other Oppo’s who have attained literacy. There are some very dedicated writers on here who surely must read something in their spare time. I feel the tone has been amply set with picture books that nobody need feel there is any slant that will be cast on whatever might be deemed worth sharing. Such as the entire John Gard ner series of James Bond books I recently polished off.

I have focused on audible books the last couple of years. I’m currently listening to The Reality Dysfunction by Peter Hamilton. I already read the series in hard copy, so it’s interesting to take it in again in a different format. From this, you can probably guess that I’m a sci-fi fan. I spent many years reading research papers, so I figure that I’m balancing out all the pure knowledge with fun flights of fancy.

I’m college and working right now so I haven’t done any for fun reading lately. I’m going to be reading through Patrick O’Brien’s epic 21 book “Aubrey-Maturin” series again once I graduate. That will be my third complete read through. I’m a big fan of the works of JRR Tolkien (read the silmarilion 5 times). The most recent readings have been of Bedes “ Ecclesiastical History of England”, and Gildas “On the Ruin of Britain”. Some of my favorites include James Naval History. I’m looking forward to some lighter sci-fi reading in the future.

No preference. I’m not really into racing.

Broaden your horizons by watching the race today if you get a chance.

In college so a Medical Sociology textbook, a Soca l Work textbooks, a statistics textbook and many peer reviewed articles. That said these are classes I like so I’m actually kind of liking them.

Well racing is a sure sign of human development. S o you best park the books and study the effects Foster s Oil Cans have had on Australian society

Recently finished the 2020 Commision Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attack on the United States. It’s terrifying in that the situation posed is totally plausible. It is also kind of shocking how little damage many nuclear weapons do. It’s bad, but not everyone levels an entire city.
I’ve been reading the Darth Vader comic compilations. Super good and fun reads.
Recently finished Chris Hadfields’s Asteonaut’s Guide to Life on Earth.
I have the Art and History of the Venture Bros on deck. I’m going through a light phase.

Listening to Lord of the Rings on audiobook during my commute. And trying to read The Rise and Fall of the third Reich in the evening. Nothing like some terrifying dreams of Hitler to wake up to in the middle of the night!
