In the last year or two, listened to A.K. Larkwood’s fantasy trilogy: The Unspoken Name, The Thousand Eyes, and The Serpent Gates. I enjoyed the characters and the world, the soft magic based on old flawed gods, and the complex relationships. Excellent narration. 📚

Finally read (or listened to Andy Serkis read) The Silmarillion[ by J.r.r. Tolkien 📚. I can add little to all that has been written on it, but I recommend:

Early this year, read 2/3 of Seveneves by Neal Stephenson 📚.\nI found the struggle to secure a future in the face of imminent catastrophe excellent science fiction and human drama. I skipped the speculative evolution, though a friend suggested I revisit it as Stephenson’s take on Dune. Maybe.

Earlier this year, finished reading: The Infidel and the Professor by Dennis C. Rasmussen 📚as an audiobook. Recommended by a fellow History & Philosophy of Science graduate. I had read Hume ages ago but focused on causation and Newton. This was most welcome context. Excellent.

Finished: A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains by Isabella Lucy Bird 📚\nA friend recommended this exceptional 19th-Century travelogue of a British lady traveling alone in the Rocky Mountains back in the log-cabin days. A compilation of letters home, Bird is an excellent writer and keen observer.
