I am currently reading two books

1. Willpower doesn't work by Benjamin Hardy.

2. Guns, Germs, and steel by Jared Diamond.

Welcome topazann.

You might enjoy checking out the BookTalk discussion of Guns, Germs, and Steel from a loooong time ago.

Just finished reading Tau Zero, a science fiction novel by the late Poul Anderson (written in 1970). Hard Sci-Fi, with lots of discussion of time dilation, and near-light speed, plus plenty of character development. Warning: Some of the chapters will take a bit of time to digest.

Next on my list: The Three-Cornered War (subtitled The Union, The Confederacy, and Native Peoples in the Fight for the West) by Megan Kate Nelson. This author is not known to me. The book was recommended, and loaned, to me by a neighbor. I will probably update you on my thoughts when I am finished (or at least well into) it.

War and Peace by Tolstoy - Amazing battle scenes, characters that really grow on you, the classic questions of man's existence are tackled throughout--HIGHLY recommended read.

The Eternal Husband by Dostoevsky - Considered by some critics as one of the more cogent and economical short masterpieces of this author. I'm a 1/3 of the way in and the story is setting up nicely with the two tortured characters. It promises to be a desperate tale of sad events--PERFECT!

Jared Diamond has a new book out last year, "Upheaval". It looks interesting, though more about history and politics than his former anthropology and geography works. I hope to read it before too many months go by, but Haidt is top of the list for now.

I’m reading „A new earth“ by Eckhart Tolle - a really good Book!

I've been reading this book by Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch called "The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington" and it is really fascinating. I normally don't read nonfiction, but this book has been so intriguing and fun to read. I highly, highly recommend this book to literally anyone!

You probably like "Heritage of Stone" by Jim Garrison as well. Garrison's District Attorney office was one of the few independent investigations of the JFK assassination. The book reveals some amazing things about Oswald's time spent in New Orleans in the months leading up to his move to Dallas.

Just finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgernstern and it was phenomenal. I had a couple I read before this one, but did not enjoy them all that much. I would highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for something new.

I like reference books and lately I've been reading from one called The Encyclopedia of Plague and Pestilence, by George Kohn. Fascinating entries. Well worth having if you ever come across a copy.
