"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari
shareI'm sure glad it's winter time so I don't have to mow my damn yard!! ;)
(Oh, my bad, that was Homo Deus, which you've hopefully also read...)
I only skimmed and couldn't get into it. I think I'll give it another chance. (I disliked Game of Thrones until I rewatched the first episode a year later.)
shareI guess books are just like moves and songs, you can't just recommend one.
The Hobbit - Tolkien
1984 - Orson Welles
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind - Yuval Noah Harari
The Big Picture, by Sean Carroll.
shareCarroll is a fantastic science writer, a super explainer.
shareFor sure. I absolutely adore the above mentioned book, as well as his From Eternity To Here.
shareI've got one for you, if you like Carroll. Check out The God Problem, by Howard Bloom. Little bit more "out there" but I thought it was a fantastic read.
shareFor something uplifting, "The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland" by Jim DeFede. Gander welcomed thousands of stranded passengers immediately after 9/11 when US airspace was closed and planes were diverted to Canada. It's amazing how the town pulled together and fed and housed every one of them.
sharei think you've mentioned this before. i have it on my short list of books to read, prompted by your previous mention, i believe. absurdly, we don't have it in our library (canadian here).
shareA friend of mine suggested Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. He said it was the best book he ever read, but not really my thing.
