Nature with a capital ‘N’ August 15
Lately my bedtime reading has been unsatisfying. Not that I haven’t been reading just that my choices have been poor and when you have kids and don’t watch the telly, bedside reading is precious time not to squander.
The last book I read was ’Planet of Slums‘ a well researched and highly technical rant on the evolution of cities. (You can guess what Mike Davis regards as the eventual outcome of all megacities by the title)
I am tired of the environmental doom and gloom (like ‘compassion fatigue’ only earth focused, not human focused) so as I was in the library yesterday, I decided to take a look at the other non-fiction ‘fast reads’. These are the books that you can borrow for only 7 days so you have to get it in gear and read! Going in a somewhat new direction, I got out ‘The God Delusion‘ written by Richard Dawkins. So far, I am finding it fascinating. It is rare that we question theology this way and with such candor.
