Reblogged from: Murder by Death
Our current buddy read of The Invention of Nature is going well enough that when it’s finished, we’re going to convert the book club into a general science buddy read club.
We definitely need a snappier name for it.
In the meantime, the current members are going through their shelves and coming up with possible titles for future reads; we’ll likely read one book every two months, as non-fiction is generally a more time consuming read and we don’t want to burn anyone out with too much of a good thing.
I’ve gone through my Planning to Read shelf and shelved all the science books onto the science shelf (something I generally don’t do until I’ve read the book – more out of laziness than anything else) and I’ve included a few here to see if any of them look interesting to anyone else, or are maybe already on their shelves.
I have 16 all up; if anyone has any interest in seeing them all, I have confirmed that if you go to my shelves (or anyone else’s for that matter) and click on Planning to Read, and then click on my Science shelf, you’ll only see the Science books I have that I haven’t yet read. BookLikes has a bit of boolean searching power it’s been keeping under its hat.
I’ve stuck with hard sciences (left out philosophy for example), but as a member of the group I’m open to interpretations.
