So, What Are You Reading?

Just finished The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons by Sam Kean and I highly recommend it. It provides a fascinating education on neural pathways framed in engaging stories that keep your attention (e.g., phantom limbs and the Civil War).

 

Read Fred DuBose's I Used to Know That: Civil War Stuff You Forgot From School.

 

Read Simon Briscoe and Hugh Aldersey-Williams' Panicology: Two Statisticians Explain What's Worth Worrying About in the 21st Century.

 

Did you like Killing Patton any better than Killing Lincoln?

 

Juran's Quality Handbook and World Class Manufacturing.

 

Yes. It is much better. Here is the thing, it seems to be more about other items than Patton. He and Dugard did a much better job with this book. Now, in my defense, I have read a biography about Patton before this. That one was amazing.

 

My first post! I am re-reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein on the recommendation of my IT professor. Lately I've been wanting to learn more about anatomy, and I didn't really may much attention to that aspect of the book when I first read it (some 15 years ago lol). I just started last night, looking to finish over the weekend.

 

The Bodhicaryavatara by Santideva

 

It's a cool book about Buddhism. It's an instruction manual for how to become a Bodhisattva. Santideva was a guy who lived in Northern India around the year 700 CE. It seems he was quite the character.

 

Hi, I have been interested about the books written by Mitch Albom. They are all about inspirational stories. I'm done reading "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", "For One More Day" and now, I am halfway through with "Tuesdays With Morrie"

 

Hmm. Looks like I haven't posted about books I've finished reading since 02-01-2015. My current reading project is Walter Lynwood Fleming's The Civil War and Reconstruction in Alabama. This book is about 800 pages of very tiny type. I am on page 500 or so.

 

Two more posts and I'll cross the 12,000 mark.

 

made it to page 600 (of 800) of Walter Lynwood Fleming's The Civil War and Reconstyruction in Alabama.

 

Read up to page 700 of Walter Lynwood Fleming's Civil War and Reconstruction in Alabama.

 

I am reading Glorious Upheaval by Jay Winik

 

Having read all seven history books in the Great Books of the Western World, I could by now have earned an Master of Arts in Humanities from Harrison Middleton University had I done this on a for-credit basis.

 

Read Walter Lynwood Fleming's Civil War and Reconstruction in Alabama up to page 803.
