My ask was post a good page from a good book. A way to recommend one you think is worth reading. And that post was a response to miscers who claim they don’t read. I expect many miscers to know it.

It looks like a pain in the ass, but once you know what is going on (understand types of waves, the reasoning behind the formulas, the real world applications, etc) I bet it means something to you. Pharmacokinetics was a subject area that sucked for me, but those books helped me better understand a lot about my own field. All subject matter is welcome here.

Mirin, the reviews on that one are insanely good. Hope it’s a good read, and I’ll keep it in mind as soon as I catch up with what I recently ordered already.

Anybody read these?



Not the gay ass movie, the book.. There's a whole series of them. I have, but it's been a while and I'm thinking about going through them again.

I haven’t. It says this stuff goes back to a book called Transfer of Power from 1999, fuarkkk. I imagine a lot has happened through the series.

IIRC Transfer of Power was a prequel to American Assassian.

But yeah, the main character Mitch Rapp is a bad ass of epic proportions. They will also make you disgusted with politics and politicians because they do some dirty underhanded shiit all throughout. I always just hoped it was just dramatized for effect, but you never know…

I'm currently reading a book I bought online called A New Science of Heaven. It is about two plasma clouds found between Earth and the Moon around 5 years ago called the Kordylewski clouds. Apparently plasma studied in labs can take on life like features. The author is trying to take the case that the kordylewski clouds are showing signs of intelligent life. I don't know what to make of it, but it is a different type of reading for me.

I don't have a page to share, but some on the book can be read and heard here ~

Evidently their existence was postulated 60 years ago, and confirmed at the time you mentioned, 5 years ago.



Around L4 and L5 i think. Insane that we so recently confirmed it. The plasma/intelligent life concept is wild. Sounds like science fiction, but who knows? Learning a lot of stuff here brahs, thank you, sincerely.

No, not Tolstoy although Anna Karenina is on my short list (probably in the fall). Dostoyevsky, Sokolov, Sorokin, Pelevin, Gogol, Pasternak, Bulgakov are some of my favorites. I'm trying to learn Russian so that I can recite poetry of Mayakovsky, Tsvetaeva, Brodsky, but especially Yesenin. To help with reading Russian I'm working through some Russian short stories written for Russian learners and now I'm reading an interesting version of two of Lermontov's works; A Hero of Our Time and The Demon which is presented in it's original Russian but with facing pages translated into English plus vocabulary notes. I've taken at least one lesson on Duolingo every day for the last 1195 days. I also have some Russian and Ukrainian friends that I write to and speak with. When I retire I'll probably major in Russian at the University of Minnesota. Us old folk's can take classes for $10 per credit hour (saving thousands). My speaking is getting better although handling all of the cases in Russian is a total PIA.

this. How did you hear about it? I picked up American Assassin off a shelf and then obsessed with the series.. Term limits is technically the first one made but American Assassin would be considered the first on the timeline.

edit: yea transfer of power may have been the first one.

Bro, this was gonna be my other recommendation- ive read this whole series. Fawking awesome- the stories are fake but the tactics/strategy is all legit. Everyone I've recommended this to has called me back singing its praises.

I read books every day. I've finished 25 books so far this year. All fiction. James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Harlan Coben and Nora Roberts/JD Robb are my fave authors.

I had a few Koontz books that I finished years ago, I’m sure that they are in a box somewhere now. Fun reads, I enjoyed them.

Edit: found a couple. They are in miserable condition lol

I love Koontz. Once I'm done all the James Patterson series that I haven't read yet I'm going to read some of the new Koontz books I haven't gotten to yet.

Vouched for with two stamps of approval. Alright, this will be started after the C.S. Lewis book.

I’ll be honest, I’m way out of my depth with what you posted. Reading that kind of literature in the original language is some serious stuff, and I wish you luck. I’m sure a lot of meaning gets lost in translation.
