What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech

Just finished Artemis by Andy Weir, the person who wrote The Martian, which is on my list to read still. Artemis was a really fun book to read/listen to. I only listen to books now while I drive. It is about Earth's first city on the moon. Fun book to read, would totally make a good movie or I think a even better video game.

That book had a problem from the library. We switched and read The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander, instead.

We are reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone most nights, but when the little one isn't interested my elder daughter and I resort to Dragon's of Autumn Twilight which she has really gotten into.

@scottalanmiller 100% certain you posted this in the other thread.

Lots of true crime, recently. Currently reading (listening to) Zodiac: The Shocking True Story of the Nation's Most Bizarre Mass Murderer, By Robert Graysmith.

I've been reading "Everyone loves large Chests"
It's sorta kinda a LitRPG, pretty entertaining but might take a second to start rooting for the protagonist.

David Allen's Getting Things Done:The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. The book is more or less expanding on the concept that he created with the same name. So far it has helped me quite a bit.
Also, Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. Okay, I haven't actually gotten to reading it yet, but I just bought it last weekend and am excited to get there.
-
@fiyafly On the fence about Jordan Peterson, but I know that book is quite popular
-
@wirestyle22 Essentially anything you may have heard about him is probably wrong. If you want, message me and I can give you some more info on him. I'd put it here, but I lost count of how many things he's said that have been skewed and misconstrued. lol
-
@fiyafly I've watched a lot of his videos and debates. I'm not going off of second hand information. If I had to choose someone for a conservative debate it would be Ben Shapiro probably. He seems to stick mostly to the facts as he sees it, whether or not I agree with him is something else though. I try to familiarize myself with both sides of the argument and don't align myself with any particular party.
-
@wirestyle22 sorry about that. I have just gotten overly used to having to defend him and others at the mere mention of their names. Peterson is a favorite of mine as he delves into the phycological and philosophical points that are made.

We watched John Carter a few weeks back. It's a movie that I really like.
My daughter filled me in on Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author of the books, and some of the story line.
So, I bought the books on Kindle and am reading via my Surface 3.
I just finished book 3 last night.
ERB's style takes a bit getting used to but I really enjoy it. It's science fiction before Heinlein and Asimov took it mainstream IMO.
I make a point of reading for at least half an hour to an hour to get immersed in what I'm reading.
