“We’ll never be a normal boy and girl will we?” She managed to say. “No,” he breathed, eyes blazing. “We won’t.”
I’m reading Crown of Midnight now and all I can say is CHAOL!
launch out on his story, muse, daughter of zeus,
start from where you will - sing for our time too.
The books I'm reading at the moment.
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - I love this book. It puts you in the perspective of the time and space you occupy, I found a lot of my own thinking and feelings within the pages of this book. A guy born in AD 121 has very clear view on life that is still relevant today.
Great Adaptations by Kenneth Catania - A professor of biological sciences takes you on a journey with him while he studies various animals adaptive abilities. Star nosed moles, electric eels, tentacled snakes... Very interesting insight in how these creatures evolved and adapted.
What we cannot know by Marcus du Sautoy - Explains concepts from the ground up, I like the illustrations that accompany the text and practical examples. Lays foundations to the known and wonders into the future of research and the possibilities that come with it as well as limitations. Covering themes from quantum physics and cosmology to sensory perception and neuroscience.
Labyrinths of reason by William Poundstone - "Blue sky, sunshine, deja vu glazed with dread." How do you know this isn't all a dream? Is anything certain? Ontology, logic, mathematics, deduction, epistemology, memory formation, paradoxes and puzzles.
A brain for numbers by Andreas Nieder - Humans' understanding of numbers is intuitive. How are infants able to perceive numbers even before they learn the words for them? How do our brains process numbers? Can animals count? He shows how it is an adaptive ability and that plenty of animals have the number sense too. There is a variety of research and supporting evidence mentioned which I really like.

Just started reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Opinions/Reviews?
Smell of books plays a major role along with Plot, in portaling readers into another dimension.
While reading.
My brain: You're tired. Enough for today.
My fingers: I can't stop turning pages. It's so interesting. Let me finish this chapter.

Many books are going to be released this month. I'm excited for Wayward son and The tyrant's tomb.
