Science in the Soul


There are elements of Richard Dawkins' elitism, arrogance, and bravado that I enjoy​; and there are other bits I find a little off-putting.  In general his prose, regardless of the topic is delicious and pleasing.  This collection is not as good as his other books.  3/5 stars.

The Summons


​Still catching up on Grisham, liked this one as well.  4/5 stars, great slice-of-life of Mississippi.

Homo Deus


Life changing, awesome, must-read 5/5 stars

Best book I have read since "Thinking Fast and Slow."  Amazing thoughts and insights into metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, aesthetics, politics.  Amazing speculation and future projection of science trends in biology, computer, and information sciences.  Great insights into implications of intelligence versus consciousness.  Just read it!

Camino Island


We started to read the Grisham books we had not read when they came out and I noticed a new one sitting around.  It is a great story with wonderfully colorful characters.  Very enjoyable 4/5 stars.​
