Literature

Reading through Attached by Amir Levine, recommended to me by my therapist. It talks about different types of people's ability to form attachments and relationships with others. I've definitely learned a lot about myself so far and I'm only halfway through.

I'm reading count zero by Willson Gibson. Its the sequel to neuromancer and so far it's pretty different. A whole different vibe, I'm not sure if I like it yet.

Kim Harrison’s Demons of Good and Evil that just came out yesterday :)

My partner is almost done with it already and is dying to talk about it but I’m taking my time xD

I'm currently reading Oblomov by Goncharov, after it I might jump to "Ears of corn under your sickle" by Karatkievič

I'd highly recommend We are legion we are Bob and off to be the wizard to any fellow tech nerds

We are legion we are bob is about a guy whose brain is uploaded as an AI into a Von Neumann probe and sent into space to explore the universe.

Off to be the wizard is about a guy who finds out the world is some kind of simulation, and there's essentially one big file detailing absolutely everything that can be edited, uses it to go back in time and live as a wizard and make spells with his programming skills

Both of them have plenty of nerdy references and humour, would highly recommend

just finishing The Indifferent Stars Above about the Donner party - really great. these folks were built of different stock than we are.

A historic description of the life of Finnish executioners. Pretty dope stuff!

I really need to get back into reading, the last series I read was The Stormlight Archive and I really want to read some more Cosmere books

History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. Going for a cursory overview because of Philosophy club at my uni that has pretty cool people.

I've been getting into beekeeping so I'm soaking up as much info as I can. Just finished up Honey Bee Democracy by Tom Seeley. Fantastically interesting book regarding honey bee swarm preferences and decision making. Next up is an English translation of Beekeeping for All by Émile Warré, mostly because I want to read his thoughts on his hive style and management practices.

Just getting started on the last book of the Cradle series by Will Wight. Enjoyed the first 11, and hoping it's as good!

The Case for Space by Robert Zubrin. It's really good so far, it goes into such detail you can really tell the guy has spent his career and lifetime seriously thinking about how humans might live outside of Earth whether that be the Moon, Mars or the Asteroid Belt.

Can You Forgive Her? by Anthony Trollope and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alenxandre Dumas.

Currently halfway through Mercury Pictures Presents, and almost finished with a reread of EVE: The Burning Life.

Nothing right now but I have Foundryside coming tomorrow which I am looking forward to

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s the third in a really awesome, incredibly well thought-out sci-fi series.

I'm working my way through Thinking, Fast and Slow at a chapter a day. It took me a minute to get his point (well near the 30% mark, that is) but it's illuminating about how people think.

I've been reading Manufacturing Consent lately after hearing so much about it. It's very interesting through the new introduction and the first part, where the propaganda model is explained, but it drags some as the authors try to apply it to certain historical events, like the 1984 Nicaraguan Election.

Still, it's interesting, and while the model still applies to mainstream media today, the advent of the internet, smartphones, and social media's resulting displacement of mass media has lessened its effectiveness.
