My library haul today minus The Repair Shop: Behind the Scenes which the hubs promptly grabbed. Some fluff evened out by the meaty Ernest Becker.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is explaining the danger of confirmation bias however this book is not very challenging and I am fully listening for nothing but confirmation bias. 🧢
pickOne of my favorite concepts to ponder: “are we alone?”
This book dabbles a bit of the science behind this concept and explores the way humans have imagined life outside of earth. Green focuses on science fiction books and movies and the way we may not even be able to imagine lifeforms outside our own human-centric and earthling imaginings. And in fact , don‘t platypuses sound like a made up animal? The issue: we don‘t know how to define life.
Starting a long-awaited reread of the first book @WanderingBookaneer and I read together. 💜💜💜
Perfect #NewYearsEve 🤓🫶🏼
pickWith this I completed reading my 100th book and I will read it again this year
