Blink- The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - Malcolm Gladwell.

I've read another of Gladwell's books (Outliers), that and the one I'm currently reading are both really good. I find his work so engaging, it truly feels like being in someone else's mind and thinking how they think. In Blink, there is a insight puzzle in the book that actually made me feel like a Id lost my mind.

Steven Pinker- The better angels of our nature

'Middlemarch' by Eliot. It's so flipping long!

I recently watched the When We Were Kings documentary about the rumble in the jungle.

Consequently, I've just started reading The Fight by Norman Mailer.

Good to know. I read The Metamorphosis first, then some more of his short stories, and now I'm hooked :colone:

Have you read 'A Country Doctor'? That is my favourite of the short stories, but I haven't read that many of them. The Metamorphosis is great too. I've read all 3 of his novels and loved them all.

Currently reading John Derbyshire's "Prime Obsession" (The Maths book, not the romance novel that many people get it confused with), and it's a great read so far. "The Music Of The Primes" was a good book on the Riemann Hypothesis, but "Prime Obsession" goes into the Maths a lot more, even if the author explicitly steers away from using calculus wherever possible.

Yeah, the Country Doctor is great. My favourite though is A Hunger Artist, but The Judgement is so passionate too. So many to choose from! I'm hoping to read The Castle soon.
