I love Mexican food so much, I forgot to post. I always eat 2-3 times a week. #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks

The Joy of Reading: A Passionate Guide to 189 of the World's Best Authors and Their Works | Charles Van Van Doren

With this past week's political events and news (in the US, at least), along with work-related issues that I'd rather not dwell on, television has been a distraction to numb the outcome of both.

When things aren't going well in the world and in my environment, I find it difficult to focus on reading.

Here's hoping @Andrew65's #FabulousFebruary Readathon can help to shift these gray clouds and lift my typically sunshiny mood.

Goals to follow 💕

Although I didn't get a chance to join in on this #readathon yesterday since my hubby and I were busy with house projects and errands, I am on board to continue for the remainder of the week starting today 😊

Thank you for organizing this #JoyousJanuary activity, @Andrew65!

Strange Order of Things: Life, Feeling, and the Making of Cultures | Antonio Damasio

Can societies finally succeed at introducing, by secular or religious means, an intelligent and well-rewarded form of altruism such that it would replace the self-absorption that now reigns? What will it take for such efforts to succeed?

The Usefulness of the Useless | Nuccio Ordine

What a pleasure it was to hear Nuccio Ordine speak this morning at a literature festival that Barcelona is hosting this weekend.
Ordine's talk was intense, empowering and delightful. His life-long work is based around advocating for the humanities and liberal arts as a necessity for individual development in a society in a world that measures its worth based on capital growth.
I highly recommend checking him out.
I also got my book signed 😍

Such good advice. Never force yourself to read a book that you do not enjoy.

Sadly, I think that‘s why so many people don‘t continue to read after they leave school, and there are so many wonderful books out there. Definitely something for everyone!

Strange Order of Things: Life, Feeling, and the Making of Cultures | Antonio Damasio

pick

After a dense and rather repetitive introduction to the hypothesis, this becomes a fascinating account of feelings as a motive force in the evolution of the human species and its cultures.

Kalalalatja I have read some of Damasio‘s research for uni, and his writing was so repetitive, dense and confusing. 6y

Moray_Reads @Kalalalatja I found some of the chapters like that, especially early on when he was setting it out. That was actually more confusing that just jumping in at the deep-end. Also, as a non-scientist some of the things he was suggesting were so self-evident (to me) that I could have done without the justifications! 😅 6y
