Still working on Hen’s Teeth and Horse’s Toes by Stephen Jay Gould.
Put down The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics by Robert Oerter, along with Foundation by Isaac Asimov. With school I don’t have much time for reading. I’ll get back to them later.
Alright, so currently I am reading Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternack, which is an absolutely amazing story and I highly recommend. It’s about a doctor in Russia and how his life deteriorates after the Russia revolution. I’m about 3/5ths of the way through and I love it.
I’m also reading a book called From Rome to Byzantium, which is about why Rome fell and why the Eastern Roman Empire stood for about 1000 years after the west fell. I’m about 1/3 of the way through this one.
The other book i’m going to start after I finish the Byzantium book is on Augustus from Rome fame and how he basically founded Europe with his Pax Romana. AHHHHHHHHH, it’s so nice to read some really great books
