Abramelin Posted June 17, 2013 #153 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Up to near a decade ago I used to buy more (second hand) books than I could read. So yesterday I found this book on my bookshelves, one I had only leafed through after I bought it in 1996: Tao Te Ching: The Classic Book of Integrity and the Way The Classic Book of Integrity and The Way / Lao Tzu A new translation by Victor H. Mair based on the recently discovered Ma-Wang-Tui manuscripts. From Amazon.com: This translation of the *Tao Te Ching* is based on the 1973 discovery of ancient silk manuscripts of the text at Ma-wang-tui in central China. For those familiar with the *Tao Te Ching*, this translation will be surprising. The chapters are not in the original order, and a few chapters, familiar from later versions, did not exist in this early version. Unlike most translations of this text, the first half of this translation focuses on TE (which Mair translates as "integrity"), and the second half focuses on TAO. Thus, the famous opening line (here translated as "The ways that can be walked are not the eternal Way") is found here as the first line of chapter 45. Mair provided extensive introduction, annotations, and "Afterword". Clearly, his primary concerns are philological in nature. While I would not recommend this to someone reading the *Tao Te Ching* for the first time, this translation could be quite helpful for someone comparing translations and trying to come to a deeper understanding of the text. http://www.amazon.com/Tao-Te-Ching-Classic-Integrity/dp/055334935X It sure is a cure for a troubled soul... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKO Posted June 17, 2013 #156 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I finally finished reading Wool. Could never find time to read and if I try reading before bed I end up only getting through a couple pages before falling asleep. Took the lazy mans way out and downloaded an audiobook of Shift, the prequel to Wool. Can just listen while driving to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avallaine Posted October 16, 2013 #159 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The Seven Day Circle: The History and Meaning of the Week by Eviatar Zerubavel A highly enjoyable social history of the development and influence of the week in timekeeping. Actually, I'm re-reading it...third or fourth time, I think. http://www.amazon.com/The-Seven-Day-Circle-History/dp/0226981657 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted October 16, 2013 Author #160 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The Millionaire and the Mummies, by John Adams (St. Martin's Press, 2013). A biography of one of America's earliest diggers in Egypt, Theodore Davis. I am not a big fan of biographies but a friend recommended it, and I've found it to be an incredibly interesting and entertaining read. Adams is a masterful researcher. Many Egyptologists as well as amateur historians such as I have a distinctly negative opinion of Davis. I can see now that this reputation of Davis's is unwarranted. Yes, he was a con artist and a master at fraud, which is how Davis got so stinking rich, but it's his activities in Egypt where he's most remembered and Adam's book has convinced me that we all got it wrong.

ReddHeadsRantings Posted May 13, 2014 #162 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Since i got a kindle ereader, i almost never know the name of the book I'm reading and in the 4 ? 5? Years I've had my kindle I've spent maybe $350.00 on books I do read more types if books now then when i was buying Them. I used to spend about $350+ a month on books--i read Between 3-7 books a day Every day. My sister also reads That many a day and she works 60-90 hours. I have a good memory-and can't read the same book twice Because i know the next sentance, paragraph, chapter--and it Makes me crazy. Often if you know the release date of a book you want AND can Be on your Kindle from midnight-three of that date you can get The book for free BUT if they are a pricey book they'll be On the free section from 15-90 minutes only. The best nights to look are Sun/Mon & Mon/Tue in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regeneratia Posted May 13, 2014 #164 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Anyone read any Graham Hancock? And what do you think of his credibility? I read ENTANGLED, his first fiction. Because I have a hard time the conceptual digestion of evil, it took me a while to get thru the book. But it was countered with the goodness of it's characters as well.
