An Introduction to Mathematics by A. N. Whitehead. Of which I am also making the audio-book and ebook of.
I am doing this because I am going to critique it, as no place in the whole work does he actually introduce mathematics.
Mathematics is a name for a general group of grammar systems.
The Mammoth Hunters, by Jean Auel.
The Power of Creative Dreams.........Its a nice book........
Just caught up on the entire Walking Dead comic series in about 3 days. That is some great zombie literature right there.
I just finished "The Children of Hurin". It was really slow and confusing at parts, but still thoroughly enjoyable.
Now I'm casually reading "Dream Psychology" by Freud on my iPad.
Liber Novus, by C.G. Jung (The Red Book).
"The years, of which I have spoken to you, when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like a enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then."
C.G. Jung, 1957
Acorna's World.
It's sci fi :-P
ohh I liked that book a lot...just not as much as the silmarillion and lotr.Quote:

Comeplete History of World War II
I finished "Killing Hope: US Military and CIA interventions since WW 2" by William Blum today. I started reading "DMT - the spirit molecule" a while ago but I have about three other books I gotta finish as well.
Pi in the Sky had the ending I supposed it would have (unnecessary pantheistic argument where math=God). I'd say it's worth reading solely because of the stories it tells about the quarreling, madmen (mostly paranoids) who struggled to get *their* system of logic and math out there (along with introducing those systems, their strengths and faults). It also spends a good first third stringing us through the development of counting across a bunch of cultures, which is cool if you're a linguist.
Reading Catch-22, as per friend recommend. It reminds me much of Mark75.
Ewold :P
Under the Dome, Stephen King. Not his very best, but very King so far, and satisfying for a fan--echoes of Tommyknockers.
I just finished 'The Passage' Highly recommend it, apparently Ridley Scott has already bought the movie rights. It's basicly an awesome new take on vampires, imo there should be a whole thread dedicated to it! But probably not many people have read it or I should go to a different forum! :)
Just finished Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. That guy can write!
Re-reading Jane Eyre and in the middle of Anne Frank's Diary.
Jean Auel is my all-time favorite author. It used to be Stephen King until I read Clan of the Cave Bear when I was 20 years old or so.
Right now, I'm tackling the first book "Dune". I can't believe it was published in 1965. There's not enough lighting in my room though, and the print is small, so it's coming along slowly.
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
The book was in a dream last night, I need to finish it.

Diary totally lost my interest, but Lullaby was great.Quote:

I wish I had read these man's stories while he was alive. I hope I can meet him in a lucid dream sometime...
I'm casually reading The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt. It's a very interesting book on the science of positive psychology.
the interesting bits of Principia Mathematica
and also Logicomix
Feels good, man
Dune, Frank Herbert
Not loving it thus far, so its taking me forever to finish.
