What are you reading or what do you recommend?
5Sill working my way through Return of the God Hypothesis: Three scientific discoveries that reveal the mind behind the universe - by Stephen C. Meyer
Recently began reading Orthodoxy - by G.K. Chesterton.
Neither is what I would call easy reads but they definitely get you thinking.
Chesterton is public domain and is available through Project Gutenberg for free.
So what about you?

I’m currently reading a nice internet post about some interesting books somebody read or is in the process of reading. They do sound interesting!
@therealjrn
Very meta…
Finished UnCultured by Daniella Mastyanek-Young, waiting for the release of the e-book for The Culting of America, same author.
Just finished IT by Stephen King. Great book, very long, some genuine heartwarming moments.
@Wollyhop One of his best books.
@Wollyhop @yakkoTDI I liked IT well enough - not my favorite King novel, but OK.
What really bugged me though was how he wrote several books with the same theme - unrelated space aliens wreaking spooky havoc in a New England hamlet. And even mentioned the alien elements of the other books within several of the stories! Lame…
@Wollyhop @yakkoTDI BTW, after taking a pass on several of King’s recent novels, I just finished reading his new anthology You Like It Darker.
Several of the stories in it (mostly the longer ones) were pretty good. IMO
I mostly read fiction, the real world is already too real for me, and I really enjoyed the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. Well written. Fun if you’ve ever played a RPG, all the tropes are there.
Even after my “retirement” I’m finding it hard to get back into reading books on a regular basis. By the time I play around on this site then read the e-version of the local newspaper I’ve pissed away most of my morning and have plenty of other things to do.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Most recent thing I’ve read was Final orbit by Chris Hadfield

@Cerridwyn Chris Hadfield you say?
@therealjrn grin
he either writes very well or has a good ghost writer
Just finished Acid For The Children by Flea…interesting life…he barely touches on the RHCP but does talk about his close friendship with Anthony Kiedis.
And I just started a collection of shorts stories from Robert A. Heinlein.
