I have the Kavanaugh study edition. I keep getting distracted, though, and switching to something else. My parish priest is running a 6 week course on the Catechism, so I've actually been trying to read through section 1 this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) This isn't what I'm reading at the moment, but here are some of the popular non-fiction books that I've read in the past couple months that I would recommend, as well as one title that is notable for opposite reasons. [url="http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393061310/"]Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies[/url], by Jared Diamond ([b]4.9[/b] stars) [url="http://www.amazon.com/1491-Revelations-Americas-Before-Columbus/dp/1400032059/"]1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus[/url], by Charles Mann ([b]4.2[/b] stars) [url="http://www.amazon.com/First-Human-Discover-Earliest-Ancestors/dp/140007696X/"]The First Human: The Race to Discover Our Earliest Ancestors[/url], by Ann Gibbons ([b]4.5[/b] stars) [url="http://www.amazon.com/Short-History-Nearly-Everything-Illustrated/dp/0307885151/"]A Short History of Nearly Everything[/url], by Bill Bryson ([b]4.0[/b] stars) [url="http://www.amazon.com/Before-Dawn-Recovering-History-Ancestors/dp/014303832X/"]Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors[/url], by Nicholas Wade ([b]4.4[/b] stars) [url="http://www.amazon.com/1421-Year-China-Discovered-America/dp/0061564893/"]1421: The Year China Discovered America[/url], by Gavin Menzies ([b]0.1[/b] stars) Guns, Germs, and Steel was amesome. It has been much discussed for years and is all over teh bibliographies of other good books so I finally gave it a read. Diamond is win. I quite enjoyed 1491 and recommend it. I have some quibbles, as with basically everything I read, but it was excellent. The First Human was different and quite fascinating. I could not put it down, finished it one day, and would read it again with pleasure. A Short History was fun to read. I very nearly set the book aside after the first couple chapters (too 'popular'), but as a fast-paced, sweeping tour of scientific history with a good measure of interesting factoids it is decent. I rate it at 4 stars because of the readability. Before the Dawn is a decent piece of popular science journalism. Could quibble, but for what it is, can't complain really. Gavin Menzies 1421 was most irksome and I find its popularity to be disturbing. Poorly written, possibly fraudulent, pseudoscientific mess. I give it one tenth of a star out of respect for Zhu Di and Zheng He. Some titles currently in my popular non-fiction reading queue (very much subject to revision): [url="http://www.amazon.com/Voyage-Long-Strange-Rediscovering-World/dp/0805076034/"]A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World[/url], by Tony Horwitz [url="http://www.amazon.com/Just-Six-Numbers-Forces-Universe/dp/0465036732/"]Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape The Universe[/url], by Martin Rees [url="http://www.amazon.com/Microcosmos-Billion-Years-Microbial-Evolution/dp/0520210646/"]Microcosmos: Four Billion Years of Microbial Evolution[/url], by Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan [url="http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Reality-Parallel-Universes-Cosmos/dp/0307265633/"]The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos[/url], by Brian Greene Anyone familiar with the above texts and have thoughts? Edit: Just realized that this thread is in transmundane (lol), I should have listed philosophy and theology books. My bad. Too tired now.
