'Crime and Punishment', right?Any erudite forum members know what book this is based on the cover?
Arguably one of the greatest novels ever written. I return to it every few years. A masterful study into obsession & guilt and its impact on our lives.
I just finished that a few months ago. I was extremely let down by it. Great premise that was kind of wasted in the end."The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue"
Yes absolutely!Are audiobooks reading?
Cool! Any takeaways from what you've read so far? As a person who grew up analog and then moved the digital revolution at the expense of analog (my day job) - I find this intriguing. {Edit} ... just ordered a copy... used paperback, of course
When was the paragraph invented? And when did you uninvent it again?I like reading evolutionary and genetic studies of human traits, societies, social constructs, abstract conventions like philosophies, music and instruments, etc. I'm real disappointed drums aren't early in archaeological finds-but no it's flutes-even Neanderthal were making them. The lithophone-a xylophone using rocks as resonators-even predates any drum found. Dang early humans weren't to bright-makes me think perhaps this ability and comprehension evolved recently. Our abilities to comprehend and enjoy music have genetic/environmental elements (chromosome segments-individual genes identified)-some people don't like or enjoy music-it's a real thing. How religions, governments, single individual become rulers (and how and why masses would abdicate)-be it theocrat, dictator, president, etc, art, music, languages, science, etc evolved and because they did -for what purpose and WHY? I think the abstract "why" questions are just as important, if not more important, than the "how" and "what" in exploring phenomena. We move from a focus to a wider view in trying to understand "why" questions. I find my views have changed to be more open trying to understand "why" than the how. How's I get super focused and tend to hone in on strong opinions-whereas looking at "why" I've moderated my tone. As my mother would tell me-you can't see the forest for the trees. But Mom I love the trees LOL.
America's plan to destroy itself is even more interesting.Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America..
Just finished it.. Very interesting.

I enjoyed Dune and I own Dune Messiah but haven’t read it yet. I guess I should open it up.About to start 'Children of Dune'. Need to get cracking on it. I've read 'Dune' a few times and bought the set last year. 'Dune Messiah' was excellent, too.
