Currently reading The Return by Nicholas Sparks. A really good book to read so far.

I found 33 Agatha Christie 8 ball pool books in a box in my attic a while back and I haven’t read any of them yet. I was thinking they’d be good for snow days, but quarantine will work too.

I just finished the latest Harry Dresden book, "Battleground," and now I'm re-reading some other Jim Butcher books.

I'm working through Max Brooks' Devolution. I'll let you know how I feel about it.

I think these are really great books. Got to list them all so that I can get a copy of them but can anyone share any book about personality development?

Honestly, I’ve really been enjoying Stephen King’s Bill Hodges trilogy. It’s REALLY good, if you enjoy detective stories and the supernatural. He is such a good detective story writer.

For personality development I recommend anything by the Arbinger Institute.

I have many scientific books to read. During quarantine I need to finish my thesis paper finally, so a lot to read.

Right now.... Scale by Geoffrey West. It’s all about the scientific laws of scaling that govern adaptation and growth of organisms, animals, even large companies and cities.

Generally this year, I’ve been reading the Witcher novels by Andrzej Sapkowski

I also started reading all of Robert Silverberg’s science fiction books in the order they were written. I’m up to 1960 so far... long way to go.

Have you read Rendezvous with Rama? That's a book I've wanted to read for years and maybe 2020 is the year for me to finally do it.

For the first two days after the announcement of the lockdown, I was steeped in anxiety. Apprehension about what might happen to humankind engulfed me and set my mind adrift, not allowing me to do anything. But I couldn’t stay that way, after all. So, to help pass this time of crisis, I picked four books and kept them on my table. https://forpc.onl/snaptube-for-pc/ https://jfi.cam/jiofilocalhtml/

The quarantine has been going for so long that I'd assume most readers are on their umpteenth book now. [Smile]
Since the start of this year I have taken up walking as a daily exercise and because of it I am listening to audiobooks.
Currently listening to Planet of the Damned by Harry Harrison.
