'Over The Edge Of The World': Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation Of The Globe, by Laurence Bergreen.
"Ferdinand Magellan's daring circumnavigation of the globe in the sixteenth century was a three-year odyssey filled with sex, violence, and amazing adventure. Now in Over the Edge of the World, biographer and journalist Laurence Bergreen entwines a variety of candid, firsthand accounts, bringing to life this groundbreaking and majestic tale of discovery that changed both the way explorers would henceforth navigate the oceans and history itself."

Fantastic tale !

The Bible (King James). After two years of being a Christian, it's something I finally need to read fully through; though I know all things, having received the same from my God, it's a matter of going on to perfection. On January 1, I picked one of those reading plans for reading the whole Bible in a year. After the first month, I just have some readings to catch up on today, and I'll be caught up with my plan to have the Bible fully read by the end of 2021. And in 2022? I might as well do it all over again. I have learned that there is not much else truly worth my time to read (religious or otherwise). It's really not too much to do the weekly readings, but I am lazy.

Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst, by Robert Sapolsky

Quite a complex, intellectual read exploring the neurobiological, hormonal and environmental factors behind human psychological development and behaviour.

Enchiridion of Epictetus

Good shit.

1984

The latest offering from Stephen King.....about a quarter of the way through it......its holding my interest in the usual King way, I hope he can end the story in a decent way.....

Finished a few weeks ago, solid 4/5. Plot was fantastic, writing was meh so inbetween I give it 4.

Just got stuck into these. This is honestly some of the creepiest shit I've ever read. Did you know that one of the world's most disturbing alien abductions was claimed to have occurred in Wrexham, with the victim claiming he was taken by creatures that looked like Swedish celery sticks which he referred to as "Umoids" He claims that he was pegged by a probe made from some material that he described as "looking really gay". The victim was then deposited in a field full of sheep, whom he claims were possessed by these alleged "Umoid Babuian creatures" and was bummed 4000 times by them. The UK government claims it's a conspiracy caused by outrageous levels of drinking in association with Candle, and the book goes into great detail about the fact, but I am not so sure. There is something out there. There are a billion trillion stars in the universe, it is preposterous to think we are alone. Look up the Drake Equation and make up your own mind. I'm not going to be able to sleep for weeks thanks to these books. I need to lay off Amazon.
