Subject: RE: BS: Whatcha readin lately?
( I grow weary of the anti-pendants vs pendants, etc

*giggle*.. I even get tired of the pedants... *ducking behind the couch*

I am trying to re-read Asimov's "Foundation" series in chronological order instead of published order.

...but I keep getting interrupted by non-fiction like The BS Factor by Arthur Herzog- one of my favorite books of all time for deflating pompous thinking.

and "Alpha and Omega" by Charles Seife...an attempt to describe the history and methods of scientific "thinking" about the universe.

and "The Panda's Thumb" by Steven J. Gould, which does a better job than anything I've read about how evolution works and what the real issues are when discussing it.



oh...and far too many Mudcat threads...............
