Wow, that's reaching back a ways.

I didn't even finish the Strobel book. Certainly I don't pay attention to him for the sorts of peripheral, credibility related factors addressed by that article. I distrust Evangelicals by default. Sometimes his arguments are strong ones (for example, in The Case for Easter, he provides a good argument for the incredibility of all of the Apostles opting in to a conspiracy that resulted in gruesome deaths for all but one of them).

Total Recall, though, is a pretty good read. I recommend it for those who enjoy humorous scifi.

Just finished reading Fascism by Madeline Albright. Good book about the rise of fascism, bigotry etc... happening now. She give a history of how fascism creeps in starting her example with the way Mussolini came to power. Opened my eyes. Highly recommend this book. 378 pages, holds your interest though she rambles in parts.

Klingon, German, Icelandic, Finnish and Swahili?

Transparent Bathing Suit by Seymour Hair

When I asked for this at the library, they said it had been checked out for quite some time.

Now I'm mostly focusing on Hellstrom's Hive by Frank Herbert.

Btw, this was a very good book. The way that Herbert managed to create a society that is simultaneously strong, effective, and has solid social values, and yet in other ways is so cold and inhuman drew me in and kept me questioning my own reactions to it.

This is the main text I'm reading at the moment:

 

[headbang8]

1) Thomas Frank is always brilliant. 2) Since I live in the city where Röhm grew to prominence, I'm very interested to hear the story Wackerfuss has to tell. 3) I'm listening to Bharara's work as an audiobook, since I enjoy his podcast. Wonder if he'll explain why the SDNY didn't prosecute bankers after the 2008 crisis?

Reading these two at the same time:
List of the Lost by Morrissey)

If you're a Morrissey fan, have you read Saint Morrissey, by Mark Simpson?

Please don't think I'm weird, or weirder than you already think I am.

I am completely absorbed in Complete Wilderness Training Manual I picked up at B&N recently. It's an illustrated survival guide and very comprehensive!

Y'all know I'm kind of the outdoors type, but my husband teased me about getting it. I told him that I would give him three days in the wild. I think I could make it three weeks pretty easily, and then have to work at it after that.

I Know My First Name I Steven. Rereading some old true crime.

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

it's crazy!

I Know My First Name I Steven. Rereading some old true crime.

That is one of the saddest stories. I volunteer unofficially on a site for male survivors of sexual abuse. It is the toughest thing I've ever done in my life.

I may not always agree with someone but I do like to see what makes them tick, and why they think they do. If I set out just to explore and not criticize , I can enjoy the book. I get a better understanding of them as a person.
I am starting Shaken by Tim Tebow.

We had everything except money.

It's a complication of recollections and photographs from survivors of the last Great Depression.

Timely in light of what is racing toward us globally and most are oblivious to.

Crap is going to get ugly.
