What are you reading or what do you recommend?

tweezak thought this was worth mentioning said Monday at 12:37am ET

Sill 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!

- @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)_/¯

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.
