Show Me What You're Reading

[Fluidic Kimbo]

All the libraries are closed, and all the books I can get in the supermarket aren't particularly to my liking (they are all mostly crime fiction).

This came in the mail today from eBay:



It's 640 pages so I should be entertained for a while. Next I'm thinking I'll get the book written by the first female in space, she describes what it was like spacewalking and so forth.

Biographies and auto-biographies have always been a thing for me. I like when the person themselves writes it, e.g. Lance Armstrong, but it's also good when you get a very skilled writer who regularly interviews the subject and puts a book together, e.g. Mike Tyson.

This is what I’m reading at the moment.

Game Changers is fantastic. Google Dave Asprey...this book fits the mold of the genre you like as well.

I have thousands of books scattered in every corner of my house so much to read

Re-reading some favorites. This is an eye-opener.

I never understand people who read more than one book at once.

Unless of course it's Obs -- or someone of similar intellect -- reading those 'Anne and Barry' books:



They had a European version where Barry's dad drove a 'lorry'.

No need to take a shot at him.

I’ve stood up when others have taken shots at you. I guess I assumed someone of your enlightenment would know how take the high road...the one less traveled. Keep it to books, not shots at others.

Otherwise I respectfully decline any further banter.

Do you watch more than one TV show at a time? No difference. Tune in when ready and tune out when done

When I first went to go live in a Hare Krishna temple, they had me reading two books at once. One of them was something like "The science of self-actualisation", and I think the other one was something to do with reincarnation.

Anyway it bugged the hell out of me. I could have read one of the books from start to finish and then started on the other one. They insisted however that I read them both concurrently.

I hear what you're saying about TV shows. I grew up in the 1990s and I watched multple TV show series concurrently, but I think that was more so because I had no choice in the matter (before YouTube and Netflix). If I have a choice then I'd rather do one at a time from start to finish.

I'm the same way when it comes to procreation... I had 3 girls in a bed one time when I was 21 but I would have preferred to be left alone with my favourite of the three -- it was sort of like listening to 3 good songs at once and not really being able to enjoy either of them properly.

I'm picking the guitar back up again and reading books ..

If you can see the above pic, I'm meditating in the smaller shed (it's about 4'5" high).

I have to take two weeks unpaid leave from my work and so I think I'm gonna build my own meditation hut for out my back garden. Electric underfloor heating only costs $75 for one square metre. The inside of my hut will have a floor measuring 1 metre x 1 metre, and the height from floor to ceiling will be about 4'5" so I will have to kneel down to get inside it. It will basically be a minimally-sized cell.

I'll also have a propane/kerosene heater for when it's very cold.

I don't want it to look like a dog's kennel so I'll get a fancy roof to make it look like a pagoda (maybe a glass pyramid roof).

I met a guy at a nudist group that planted his own trees beside his house 30 years ago, and now he has his own little forest. It's pretty cool. I think he's fairly wealthy as he's also got an outdoor jacuzzi and sauna. Not a bad little setup.

My solicitor emailed me yesterday to ask permission to forward my medical records to the defense team, so hopefully this means I'll get a payout soon. I'm tempted to buy a bare piece of farmland and develop it from scratch. I won't be able to get planning permission to build a house so I think I'll start out with a mobile home. I could plant my own forest on it too.

They do make some kick ass pre-made homes, but you will need water, electricity, etc.
