I read 5 books over the last 23 days
(while sitting for Poutine, the frenchy.)
(Sara, Pierre, and Augie went to Balogna, Tuscany, and Rome)
-they just returned tonight.
1. Kitchen Confidential, by Anthony Bourdain
2. 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires, by Brian Tracy
3. Religion for Atheists, by Alain de Botton
4. Leviathan Wakes (first of The Expanse series), by James SA Corey
5. Best of the Best (anthology of 20 years of the best scifi), edited by Gardner Dozois
here's a good quote, from Botton, p. 113-
"Christianity is focused on helping a part of us that secular language struggles even to name, which is not prciseley intellect or emotion, not character or personality, but another, even more abstract entity loosely connected with all of those and yet differentiated from them by an additional ethical and transcendent dimension -and to which we may as well refer, following Christian terminology, as the soul."
It's good to have it defined.
And yet, it doesn't exist. That's my belief, anyway. Just bodies!
The 3 books I'm working on now are:
1. Parentology, by Dalton Conley
2. Bruce Lee's Fighting Method, the complete edition
3. Nolo's Encyclopedia of Everyday Law
plus (finished 4/24)
1. Authority, Jeff Vandermeer
2. 1001 ways to relax, by Mike George
3. Geek Ink, from creators of inkstinct
