OT: Reading List

[Aecetia]

I agree. I have liked most of King’s books, but never read the Dark Tower series. I was even reading his serialized online book called the Plant, and then he stopped writing it. His books have changed a little since his accident. I think he is dealing with the damage that was done through them. I really enjoyed Salem’s Lot, but it is old and should only be read on a sunny day and not late at night.

I thought I’d lost this book – “Creative and Critical Thinking” by W.Edgar Moore – but just now found it hidden in my bookcase 🙂 It has copyrights back to 1955!

This was a book that was introduced to me by a friend back in my college days late 70’s time frame. He handed it to me in class one day in a very austere manner and said that I had “arrived” – it was too funny a moment. Anyway there are some really good chapters in here: Fallacies of Irrelevance, Pitfalls in Language, Value Judgements, Need-Directed Thinking, The Personal Point of View, False Assumptions, etc

Back then it really influenced me. I really enjoyed my college days learning about new ideas and learning different subjects.

Hot Blonde, I remember coming across that book a couple of times but somehow I missed reading it. It has an interesting premise and I’ll bet it is still a good read. I should get a library card again and check it out.

“In the book, Veblen argues that economic life is driven not by notions of utility, but by social vestiges from pre-historic times. Drawing examples from his time (turn-of-the-century America) and anthropology, he held that much of today’s society is a variation on early tribal life.”
