I’m about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it’s ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I’m looking forward to moving on to Stephen King’s The Stand.

    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 have books scattered throughout the house, and so what I’m reading changes depending on where I am.

    • If I’m going to sit outside, I’ll grab the book I keep on the table next to the back door. Currently that’s Stephen King’s Bag of Bones

    • If I’m going to read in bed, then I pick up Tuesdays with Morris by Mitch Albom

    • If I’m going to read in the bath, I’ll grab my Kindle and work through Alma Katsu’s The Deep

    • If I’m in my office chair, I’ll work on The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defence, by Suzette Haden Elgin

    Kind of a funny way of going about things, but there it is, heh

      I usually have several books going at once, but just based on that moment’s whim. This sounds like a more efficient and less cluttered way of going about it!
