What books are we reading as we end the week? Here’s my list:
Sculpting in Time by Andrei Tarkovsky: Love being inside this brilliant Russian filmmaker’s mind—he was an extreme introvert (relatable) so this book is a rare, thorough, and beautiful occasion get his perspective on art, life, and ofc cinema
okay too many i am reading the denial of death (suggested by green flag @grace)
I’m reading Diamond age: feels wild to read this and then move to my computer to work alongside chatGPT. Surreal. The joy of abstraction: easiest intro to category theory. The author, Eugenia Cheng, is great at writing about math Bernoulli’s Fallacy: a philosophical treatise of probability & stats
Boss - Chicago Mayor Daley story Hydrogen Sonata - FINALLY ALMOST DONE WITH THE CULTURE SERIES. But dragging my feet because sort of sad to see it through to the end...
Falling behind a litte with books the last few weeks, still on The Anarchy
I started Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir this week. Feeling unimpressed so far but so many people recommended it so I’m sticking with it for now.
Daemon - by Daniel Suarez. Suggested by @nonlinear.eth - I’ve already finished it and it’s quite captivating.
Everybody's Fool by Richard Russo. I read nobody's fool many years ago and saw the third book in the series at the library so I decided to pick up the middle book in the trilogy. It's enjoyable 100 pages in.
