Resuming Literate Scientist Blog

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

Due to my Mod N Reading System I had to suspend this blog because N became large (about 100 or more books) and there wasn’t enough read material to review. Now I accumulated some books fully read from cover to cover and many others read to a sufficient number of pages to make an opinion and suggest recommendations. So I’m resuming this blog and plan to write about the next book tomorrow. It will be a history of social sciences. I plan to introduce a new book every day or so. I also made an alteration to Mod N reading to include thematic encyclopedias. Stay tuned.

A book is better than a cigarette

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

I’d been smoking since I was 18 and quit a few years ago. I found that numerous books become my substitute for previous cigarette breaks. This might have different side effects but because I read mostly paper books and magazines it is much better, I believe, than switching from one computer screen to another.
