- A New History of Western Philosophy by Anthony Kenny. This is a very good history of the subject, well written and clear. Kenny follows an unusual strategy in that he takes two approaches: He first covers each era in a more-or-less chronological order, then he looks at the big topics of that era in a systematic way. I am on p. 187.
- The Great Formal Machinery Works: Theories of Deduction and Computation at the Origins of the Digital Age by Jan van Plato. An examination of formal logic and computation. I am on p. 69.
- High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery that Challenges Everything you Know About Drugs and Society by Carl Hart. Why everything you know (or thought you knew) about illicit drugs is wrong. I am on p. 119.
- Breaking Point by Jefferson Bass, which is part of a series of crime novels about the Body Farm in Tennessee. I finished it and reviewed it.
- I started and finished The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett, which introduces one of my favorite characters: Tiffany Aching. My review
- I started the next book in the Tiffany Aching series: A Hat Full of Sky I am on p. 119.
- A Column of Fire by Ken Follett, which is a novel set in Elizabethan times. I am on p. 138 but I will probably stop, I am not enjoying it so much.
- I finished Out of the Shadow of a Giant: Hooke, Halley and the Birth of Science by John and Mary Gribbin. My review.
- I started The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley. An old fashioned detective yarn. I am on p. 52.
- I started Lenin by Viktor Sebestyen. So far, it's very good. I am on p. 133.
- I started Escape Clause by John Sandford. The latest in the Virgil Flowers series. Good stuff. I am on p. 145.
That's what I'm reading. What are you reading?
