Manly P Hall, The Secret Teachings of all Ages Ted Kaczynski, Industrial Society and its Future

I tend to read 2-3 books in parallel and randomly continue reading based on mood. I love Hall's writing style and the amount of knowledge he put into the work and considering that he wasn't even 30 when it was first published, it's an incredible read for someone who recently had a spiritual awakening.

Rereading Ted's Manifesto after reading of his death yesterday. Its impressive how he foresaw what technology would do to our society and how disruptive the industrial-capitalist-technocratic trifecta would be for humans.

I'm reading Death's End which is the third part in Liu Cixins Remembrance of Earth's Past series. I'm really loving the way Liu explains all the physics and science behind all the technology in the series. Can't wait for the Netflix adaptation.

I'm a new father, so unfortunately I haven't had any time to read over the last few months. But as soon as I have the time and energy I'm planning on picking up Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

I'm finally reading The Martian by Andy Weir, picked it up on a whim when I brought the kids to the library on Saturday and I'm almost finished it now. I've actually had it on my Kindle for a while but never got around to starting it. I'm enjoying it, looking forward to reading his other books soon.

I read mostly on my Kindle, but I prefer (and miss) reading actual books. But most of my reading is done when its dark and not always able to turn on a light.

I am reading Red Planet Blues right now. It is not too bad.

Just finished up mistborn era 2. Probably going to go for some shorter stand alone next. Maybe I am legend.

@minorsecond Started Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule few days ago and already loosing sleep over it. It has hooks deep in my flesh, last night was bad i just coudn't stop until fell asleep... I have 4 next books of the series ready to go, i might be in trouble.

I finished Barack Obama’s autobiography recently. It was on the heavier side, so it took me a while to get through it. But worth it and very insightful into his presidency.

The Jersey: The All Blacks: The Secrets Behind the World's Most Successful Team Peter Bills and The Way of Kings Brandon Sanderson.

Like both books pretty much

I’m shamelessly entering my romantasy / book tok era… I’m working my way through the throne of glass series now.

For the record my taste is not always such trash. My phase before this one was all the Hugo / Nebula award winners.

Started The Watchmaker's Daughter by Dianne Haley, about a young Swiss woman in the Resistance during WWII. She lives near the border with France and helps someone who's rescuing Jewish children and passes messages. Probably not the right time for a subject with that much weight for me though, plus my fiction brain is distracted by a 40 episode Chinese historical drama.

I'm re-reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Its been many years since I read it last, so its nice to revisit.
