What books have you read lately?

Do you have any book recommendations?

I love to read but because I read so much I have read a lot of books and struggle to find new ones to pick up. The last book I read was Gareth Brown: The Book of Doors – I found it to be one of those ”I can’t put this down” books and finished the near 500 page book within 3 days.

I normally stick to a routine of going to bed at 10:30pm but because of this book I wasn’t getting to sleep until about 2:00am. Worth it though it was such a great book!

Adding this to my recommendations for other avid readers.

Now I’m reading Nerd Do Well – Simon Peggs autobiography. I’m a big Simon Pegg fan, I love his films and when I saw he’d released a biography, I went out and bought it straight away!

Looking forward to hearing what you have read and checking any recommendations you may have.

  • I like parallel reading 4 books during the same span of time so all my SI's are properly attended to (I only allot an 1 hour reading session for each):

    • The Principles of Mathematics, Bertrand Russel (which I tend to supplement with exercises on the Skillful Reasoning website);
    • Prolegomena To Any Metaphysics, Kant;
    • Science of Everyday Things Volume 1, Neil Schlager, Judson Knight;
    • Dramatic Writing, Lajos Egri.
  • Someone else who is into parallel reading. Great!

    I read Russell’s Principles and Kant’s Prolegomena when I was at uni. Both interesting reads, but I can’t see myself going back to either of them. As for what I am reading at the moment:

    • Guy Gavriel Kay’s latest novel, Written on the Dark.
    • Andreas Feininger, That’s Photography.
    • David Duchemin, Photographically Speaking.
    • Nick Walker, Neuroqueer Heresies.
    • Petre Maican, The Asceticism of Emotions.
    • Paul Fiddes (ed.), One Earth, One Love.
