Last week I read 'Social Animal' by David Brooks and 'Brave New World' (part of my quest to consume classics that I ignored in my youth. I've also, been poking around Hitchen's 'Arguably' and started 'Absolute Monarchy: A History of the Papacy'. I also have 'Slaughterhouse Five' in the queue, but am visiting family while moving so alone time is at a premium.

I've been slowly reading Sagan's Cosmos. I've read Demon Haunted World, and I started Cosmos like a year ago and just have been slowly but surely reading it. I also have The Elegant Universe (Greene), History of Western Philosophy (Russell), and Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Nietzsche) nearby and partially read. I am a multi-book-at-a-time person lately.

Cosmos was amazing.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I read Brave New World. It is a great read.

ATM I'm reading "Empress" by Karen Miller, "A Dance with Dragons" by George R. R. Martin, "The Valley of Horses" by Jean M. Auel and "Assassin's Apprentice" by Robin Hobb.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
