morton Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I have been reading more magazines than anything else lately, the kids drive for school along with looking for new news during the election cycle got me kind of hooked. Read this article yesterday and enjoyed it well enough: Profiles A Pickpocket’s Tale The spectacular thefts of Apollo Robbins. by Adam Green January 7, 2013 http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/01/07/130107fa_fact_green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It was just a bad joke anyway. I'm reading Deadhouse Gates. Second book in the Malazan series by Steven Erickson. word, i thought i was prolly missing the sarcasm about to start this this isn't usually my kinda book but hoping for a little affirmation as i've only become more and more withdrawn as i get older. ok so i am loving this book so far. very interesting analysis of how our culture has shifted to one that values personality over character, and why people think talking is so goddamn great. if you consider yourself an introvert, i highly recommend it. and i'm only a quarter through it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 i'll have to check out the Bryson book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Symbols, I can definitely recommend this book by Bill Bryson Sitting at his kitchen table one day, Bill Bryson wondered why, from a choice of hundreds of spices, we have settled on salt and pepper as our condiments of preference – why not salt and cardamom, he thought? For that matter, why do forks have four tines? And, come to that, why do we say 'room and board’ – what board are we talking about? Daily life, he realised, is not a matter of 'now’: it is centuries of history, piled up and making itself felt every moment of the day. 'Houses aren’t refuges from history. They are where history ends up.’ This is where Bryson begins: why do we live the way we do? He uses the floorplan of his own house, a Victorian country rectory, tracing the development of ideas, of discovery, of exploration and innovation, that makes 'home’ what it is today. Just finished this It's pretty good - ever wondered the issues for an astronaut needing a shit? Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? What happens to you when you can’t walk for a year? have sex? smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour? To answer these questions, space agencies set up all manner of quizzical and startlingly bizarre space simulations. As Mary Roach discovers, it’s possible to preview space without ever leaving Earth. From the space shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA’s new space capsule (cadaver filling in for astronaut), Roach takes us on a surreally entertaining trip into the science of life in space and space on Earth. sorry for posting other people's reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
