what you reading

So, you're saying it's the popular rank that's most significant?

I recently re-read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Winnie-the-Pooh. 3 classics that kids these days probably have never even heard of.

 

If confirmation bias is important, you'll love Mr. Wilson. Objectivity? Not so much, but I'd love to hear your throughts once finished.

 

Just read about "politically correct" language (in German) and how the term is almost exclusively used by those who despise the concept. Well, the author Anatol Stefanowitsch pleads for a use of language that does (or aims at) justice, and he suggests applying Kant's Categorical Imperative to our use of language as well.

The second book (just started reading that one) is about the Strangest Places in the Ancient World. Yeah, German again, by Martin Zimmermann. He deals with the Gemonian Stairs in Rome for example, and with Entremont where they apparently had storage rooms for the skulls of beheaded enemies ...

This is what I am actually reading at the moment. It's a Old Testament Commentary on the Book of Daniel -

There's plenty of best selling books I'd never touch, so that's not really a factor for me.

 

Not many books on contemporary politics are impartial, and I don't normally read them because they tend to be too focused on the issues of the moment. Once in awhile one jumps out though. Really interesting were Game Change and Double Down, chronicling the 2008 and 2012 election. I'd have loved to get the author's take on 2016, but unfortunately he got accused of sexual misdeeds and his deal got canceled.

 

lol

 

I don't recall that, but couldn't happen to a nicer fellow. Well, perhaps Kurt Tentacle-Porn Eichenwald.

Oh, wait....

Seriously though, thank you.

 

As in the opening to Star Trek... perhaps the most famous split of all:

 

One of my favorites. I've read it three times.

That book has so much information in it, it is amazing!
