Brother Kaman Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 My eyes do not allow me to read much anymore. I hesitate to bump my reading glasses up again. The many books I have read have each had an impact on who I am. Shakespeare, Dickens, Vonnegut, Heinlein, Greene, Hemingway, Robbins, and many, many others. I suppose, even Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, Sophocles, Homer. I can't quote any of them now but each were great writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Gray Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 The most interesting book I have read recently is Authentic Happiness by Martin E. P.

Ex Nihilo Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Rereading Lord of the Rings series. Also been reading a number of William Walker Atkinson titles free on kindle. Also, just started Disobedience and Democracy by Howard Sunny. I'm such a fan of A people's history that i wanted to see what else he'd written. Highly recommend all of the above.

Fawzo Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I just got a copy of the National Wildlife Federation Field Guid to Insecs and Spiders of North America. What a fascinating world that surrounds us and is right under our feet that we try to ignore.Awareness of these guys has changed my willingness to just jaunt off the trail at a whims notice any more and a few encounters trying to get good photos has had me itching and feeling buggy for weeks lol Edited August 4, 2012 by Fawzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zequatanil Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Seeing Happy mentioned Atlas Shrugged--I went and re read `The virtue of selfishness`, maybe because it is very short and the philosophy is in point for almost. I re-visit the philosophy now and then. Each time I see it differently, however now that I am older `objectivism` dosn`t do much for me. However some of the speeches in many of her books does have much wisdom--maybe I just like powerful men that are her protagonists.blessings and peace,S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
