Reading "The Moral Animal, Why we are the way we are, The new Science of evolutionary psychology" By Robert Wright.
Has definitely changed the way I think about pretty much all living creatures, especially people. It is Copy-write 94 so it is a little dated but worth the read.
Next:
Maybe I'll finish "the Spiritual Machine" or start one of the ones mentioned here. I've got a ton that I have ripped to MP3. I usually listen to books on the drive to work since it takes about 40 min either way.

My dad listens to books all the time. For me reading is so much a textural thing, feeling the book in my fingers, that I can't really get into audiobooks so much.

reading still life with woodpecker
mostly because of a thread here a few weeks ago
thanks to everybody who recommended it. its fantastic so far and im going to end up reading lots of robbins now

last book i read was
qed the strange theory of light and matter by feynman
a bit of a slog and lots of little arrows pointing in all directions but some mind blowing concepts. worth the slog.

next i have
all tomorrows parties by gibson
mostly because neuromancer made me poop my pants with happiness

I know what you mean. There are some draw backs but if I didn't;'t do audio books I would get much less reading done. You have to be doing something repetitive or you get board or your mind wanders.

You know, I have been thinking about audio books and I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with them. And as long as you buy the unabridged versions I doubt they are worse then a book.

I mean, people have been passing down stories by mouth long before they did so with the written word. So it isn't surprising that it is so much easier to keep your attention focused on a speaker rather then words in a book.

I don't think there's anything "wrong" with audiobooks at all...to me reading is such a physical activity, that's all. Putting your feet up, turning the pages...ahh...i get pleasure out of it.

I agree with both sides.  I love picking up a book and reading it, but I also like doing household activities while listening to an audiobook.  :shrug:

I love the smell of the leather on the covers and the delicious aroma of paper that has never been read. Hmmmm, makes my eyes water just thinking about it.

But after a while my eyes hurt if I read for too long, and it is nice to do other things while you listen to a book.

I wonder. Reading a book is proven to increase ones vocabulary, I wondering if listening to audio books does the same.

I like the smell of books published in the late 80's and early 90's, that are well-worn and well-yellowed-and-read.
