The Divine Comedy - Dante (Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso)

Mysteries of Modern Physics - Professor Sean Carroll (Part of The Great Courses lectures. University level lectures on Audiobook)

King Arthur: History and Legend - Dorsey Armstrong (Examine's the real history of some of the characters and how multiple legends were merged into the King Arthur story we know today)

The Skeptic's Guide to American History - Mark A. Stoler (Part of The Great Courses lectures. University level lectures on Audiobook)

All of The Great Courses lectures are amazing and well worth the listen. There must be 600 of these on every subject imaginable. Each one is broken up into multiple lectures Can be 10 Lectures or 25 Lectures per and can go from 7 to 30+ hours.

Now I also have to read

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

The Republic - Plato

Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger

Two Books I just finished that I would urge everyone to read.

The Body Keeps the Score - Bessel Van der Kolk M.D. ( If you've suffer any kind of physical trauma, PTSD, etc. this book will change your life.)

Talking To Strangers - Malcolm Gladwell Just mind blowing. Everyone in any kind of law enforcement should have to read this book. It's about how we believe we can tell if a person is guilty or not, Lying or telling the truth and many other things based on body language and also about how we ignore real warning signs because we don't want to believe we are being fooled. Among other things. Every opinion is backed by scientific studies on multiple levels. Stories about how Castro FLOODED the C.I.A. with his spies and almost none were caught even when there was clear evidence. It's eye opening and a bit scary.

Talking to Strangers seems like something that would make me break my decade long aversion to reading (and doing NY Times Sunday crossword puzzles). I'll put it on my order list and wait for the library system to reopen.

Murder at St. Andrews: A Darwin Summers Mystery by James Koeper.

Was thinking of Deadeyedick when reading this. Couldn’t tell if it was a murder mystery book about golf or the reverse. Written by a guy who splits time between Texas and Wisconsin. Gives a great history of the old course at St Andrews while the mystery unfolds. Better than average read.

Someone mentioned this a couple weeks ago, but I don’t recall the context: I’m reading Kafka's "Metamorphosis," in preparation for my next book, "The Cockroach," by Ian McEwan. It’s the Kafka story in reverse, apparently.

White Fang was one of my favorite books in HS. That and Call of the Wild. Jack London was a great author.

Same here- read all his books in JHS, then read jim kjellgaard sp? did more young person books in London style Big Red, I think? Wasn't allowed to have one and I read every dog book around. Call of the Wild in my downloads too. See the promo for the new movie with Harrison Ford? The CG is so bad I couldn't even watch the reel.

I really hope you read or listen to this book.... It's amazing. I really enjoyed listening to it. The author reads it himself so he emphasizes his points in the way he wrote them rather than someone else's interpretation of his words. You get to hear his anger or frustration or shock or amusement as he meant you to.

I'm currently finishing The Divine Comedy again... We're in Heaven and he's just met Beatrice. I love the writing...

Instead of He said to..... or He replied.

Every time someone speaks to another it's "and He to me". Or "Me to he" etc...

Makes it sound more formal and personal. More intimate, which really fits the setting.

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

By Laura Hillenbrand

"Louie’s life, with its athletic feats, air combat, plane crash, shark attack, strafing, years as a POW, and slavery, is truly singular. But as unique and dramatic as it is, his story offers lessons that can guide those of us who lead much more ordinary lives. It stands as a testament to the breadth of the realm of possibility, demonstrating that with perseverance, courage, and resourcefulness we can prevail over hardships we imagined were insurmountable. And it demonstrates both the corrosive, life-consuming nature of bitterness and the transcendent liberation and peace that are the gifts of forgiveness. An odyssey of exceptional hardship, pain, trial, and triumph, Louie’s life is like no other, yet it carries lessons that speak to all of us. He is truly an inspiration.”

This is a quote from the author that says it all.
