Hiatus Interruptus

I will be using the blog only sporadically for the next month (*), partially due to the busyness of the season, partly because I am so far behind in my reading that I need to concentrate on getting it done. Here are a few of the books which I have not read, or read only partially, and which rise to the top of the "unread" pile:

In no particular order (since I tend to read them all simultaneously):

The Higgs Fake; Unziker. (half read)
Higgs; Baggot.
Higgs Discovery; Randall.
The Trouble With Physics; Smolin. (half read)
A Manual For Creating Atheists; Boghossian.
The Death of the Grown Up; West.
Pure; Anderson. (half read)
The Art of Making Sense; Ruby. (one of my favorite logic authors: half a century ago)
The Anthropic Cosmological Principle; Barrow and Tipler. (partially read)
Philosophy of mind; Jaworski. (partially read)
Chesterton, Collected Works, Vol 2. (Partially read)
The Outer Limits of Reason; Yanofski. (partially read)
Information and the Nature of Reality; Davies and Gregersen.
Information Theory, Evolution, and the Origin of Life; Yockey. (Started, nearly up to "the central dogma of molecular biology).
Mind and Cosmos; Nagel. (half read, this book caused an uproar amongst the faithful materialists - I need to finish it).

A decade ago I read three books a week, mostly philosophy and logic texts. I was obsessed with completing my education, and forming a rational basis for a valid worldview. Now, I find that my new worldview is validated by virtually everything I read, regardless of the source. Still, education never stops, and knowledge is never complete - much less access to truth (which must be inferred from deductions).

It's a fascinating intellectual life, and my real life tends to get in the way.

Today, for example, we have snow and frozen livestock waterers, so I have to get suited up and get with the program.

(*)I might get sucked into an interesting conversation, should one arise.
