A list of books I brought home with me from the library yesterday, even though I won't have time to read any of them. This is what happens when I wind up wandering the non-fiction aisles. Please note, I've rarely in my life read any physics or natural history. I've had very little exposure to linguistics. These books caught my eye. It's all Stephen Hawking's fault because I couldn't remember the call number to the book of his that I was curious about and many of these were nearby.
The Grand Design Stephen Hawking with Leonard Mlodinow
Color: A Natural History of the Palette Victoria Finlay
The Physics of the Impossible Michio Kaku
A Briefer History of Time Stephen Hawking
Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid Wendy Williams
Surprised by Oxford: A Memoir Carolyn Weber
What Language Is (And What It Isn't And What It Could Be) John McWhorter
and from the Friends of the Library Book Store:
How to Study Your Bible: The Lasting Rewards of the Inductive Approach Kay Arthur
Logic for Philosophers Richard L. Partill
Essays in Existentialism Jean-Paul Sarte
I keep hoping I'll find The Girard Reader in the library book store, but yesterday I was looking for Perfecting Ourselves to Death by Richard Winter. If you are familiar with any of these books, please tell me what you think of them. As I indicated earlier, there is little chance that I'll ever actually read any of them, but still I had to hold them in my hands and bring them into my home.
