story time
Due to the extreme dullness of my duties at work, I have taken a great liking to audiobooks.
A list of audio books I have completed in the past three months:
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
The Demon Haunted World - Science As A Candle In The Dark by Carl Sagan
River Out of Eden by Richard Dawkins
Myths & Masks by Joseph Campbell (lectures)
The Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
The Iliad by Homer
The Children of Hurin by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
We Can Remember It For You Wholesale by Philip K. Dick
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Paper books I have read in the past three months:
The Nibelungenlied (translated by A.T. Hatto
The Saga of the Volsungs (translated by Jesse L. Bock)
I am picking through the Prose Edda right now in my spare time. I seem to have a thing for old Icelandic/Germanic literature right now.
It is somewhat telling from the lists I think that I have little time out of work for reading, but I am really happy to be fortunate enough to have such a dull job that I am fully permitted to steer the course of my own brain activity while I'm there. Hmm, what to listen to next...
