ExecuDork posted:I need to read more books, rather than substiting on a diet of The Economist and scientific articles. So I'm bookmarking a few threads here in the Book Barn and I hope to get more serious reading done this year. Occasionally I pick up a book based on an Economist review in the back of the mag. They review a wide range of non-fiction, so if you're interested in Economist-esque topics delve into your old copies more and check it out? If you read the economist like me, you're like three or four issues behind.

blue squares posted:Under the Banner of Heaven is intense. Does he interspace his story about a [youth idealist / climbing party] with chapters bragging about his own climbing experience only ultimately to decide that the subject of the book [deserved to starve to death / was not his fault]?

I'm not too cool as I obviously read his books enough to know that is what he did in Into the Wild and Into Thin Air. He's just an rear end in a top hat and tbh, that isn't even the minority opinion. So in reality, I'm glad you can see through this and appreciate his books for what they are. I haven't been able to do that with his big two. Maybe the mormon book is different.
