This was a pretty good book, and I like the magic history that is put into the book. There was surprisingly little that happened in the book, with most of it being politics. They mention a lot of things that are on the horizon and a lot of things that had happened, but not much goes on in the book itself. I like the writing and world building though. I’m going to have to finish up this series to get all the good action parts as well.
This was a very enjoyable book, and I like most of the characters in it. There isn’t any super character, but they all have their super moments. I like how the story wove together and I can see mostly where it is going. I look forward to listening to more in this series.
This was a quite good book, and it also talked about the moral questions I like. I took a more pragmatic and economic bent to it with politics taking a front seat. I think I’ll listen to the rest of the series.
This was by far the worst book I’ve listened to on Audible. The book is really bad, the science is idiotic, there is no development of any kind, and there is nothing interesting that happens.
This book was pretty good, and the logic that is covered is pretty interesting. I like the different approaches to “what is humanity?” and “what is inherently valuable?” These questions are covered nicely here, and I like the way the characters interact around them. I especially like how the final moments play out with the bad guy being shut down by his own terribly logic.
Steph and I drove to the California Avenue Farmers Market and were surprised that they took up another block of the street for the market. It was nicer, and there were a number of new stands that we got to sample. One place that was interesting was an herbal tea stand that was made from the products of one garden. I would have gotten some if there were caffeinated teas there, but unfortunately there weren’t. It was also some of the most expensive tea I’ve ever seen. We got bolani and tofu of course, along with some very tasty berries.
After lunch on Saturday, Steph and I went to the Rancho San Antonio open space preserve. It was a great walk down to the farm and back. We ended up seeing a red tailed hawk on the way in that had just caught a rabbit. The rabbit probably weighed as much as the hawk, and it wasn’t able to carry it off. We also saw a deer on the way to the farm, and it went to relax in the shade of a nearby tree, almost disappearing in the foliage. The farm was decent, but there weren’t as many bunnies as Steph wanted. I’m not sure it is possible for the farm to have had enough bunnies for Steph. That said there were only three or so, and they were hiding in the back corner.
Steph and I have been taking Archer and Lana on walks again, since they’ve gotten over the flea problem. It is nice to see them enjoying the outside. I hope we can take them more places, but last time we tried that they got scared and upset. It will be a gradual process.
Steph and I drove up to Daily City to have lunch with Lisa at Banana Island. It was very tasty and we got a ton of roti. We got the crispy type to dip in peanut sauce, the type stuffed with egg, and the type stuffed with preserve. All of it was delicious. I also got a tofu dish to have something more substantial.
It's an Exciting World
