In Which We Discuss Books I Read in my 28th Year, Week 13/52
Four books last week - 5th to the 11th of November. Two audiobooks, one that I'd read before, and two on kindle, including on that I'd read before.
Herding Hemingway's Cats is a nice popular genetics book, and I found that listening to it - even without paying a huge amount of attention - really helped clarify concepts for me which later came up in lectures. I already had an overview, so it was easier to get on with the little details. I also re-listened to About a Boy. I'm so glad it's now studied in schools; there's so much to discuss in it.
I also read The Ex-Factor, a very silly book in which four friends decide to set each other up with their exes rather than risk another Tinder date. It was 99p on Kindle.
Finally, I re-read Myth-ing Persons, the fifth in the Myth Adventures series. I just looked it up, and apparently there are nineteen books in total.
I found out on the 16th that Sheri Tepper died on the 22nd of October.
