I like to track my favorite web sites in Links. May as well track the books I have read too.

In Progress

The Joy of Abstraction: An Exploration of Math, Category Theory, and Life. Eugenia Cheng

A Walking Life. Reclaiming Our Health and Our Freedom — One Step at a Time. Antonia Malchik.

2026

The Infinities, John Banville. While I do not think of this as a science fiction novel, it does qualify by definition.

What I talk About When I talk about Running, Haraki Murakami. So I heard about this book from my wife. I do not understand how this appeared on her radar.

Ishmael, Daniel Quinn. So you have to get with a telepathic understanding between a very skeptical man and a gorilla. I am not asking you to believe but simply to understand the premise. Now I ask you to entertain the the outcome of the dialog.

The Way Home, Mark Boyle. Living without modern technology. Building a home, finding a life with seasons.

2025

Thinking in Systems A Primer, Donella H. Meadows

Ways of Being. Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence. James Bridle

The Web of Meaning. Integrating science and traditional wisdom to find our place in the universe. Jeremy Lent

How to Bake π: An Edible Exploration of the Mathematics of Mathematics. Eugenia Cheng

The World Ending Fire. The Essential Wendell Berry

Douglas Adams The Ends of the Earth, Arvind Ethan David
