Books

Finance: The Automatic Millionaire, The Richest Man in Babylon, and The Wealthy Barber (finished each of these in a few hours)


Historical Fiction: A Rose for the Crown, and previous to that The Other Boleyn Girl. Next up is The Virgins Lover. These are all about English Kings and Queens and their fictional lives mixed with historical data.

If anyone can recommend books in either of the above subjects, I'm all ears!

Indian Art of Mexico and Central Americaby Miguel Covarrubias, 1937. If I want to read such a book, it really would be better to read a more modern one, but this was on my book shelf. While moving its shelf across the room, I couldn't help but sample a few a few captions in it, and I was hooked in. I was given this book from my brother-in-law's library when he died. For a book on archeology, it is appropriately dusty and musty.

The World Without Us by Alan Weisman, 2007.

A reviewer described it as "An exacting account of the processes by which things fall apart."

Bookie, I've heard radio interviews of the author of that book. I want to get a copy for my Dad. Are you enjoying it?

It's a great read for someone interested in ecological processes. The presentation is more episodic than I expected, but I'm enjoying the descriptive writing. I'd recommend it, but I can't imagine reading the book twice. My copy will go to the library when I'm done.
