I'm in Psalms and the Silmarion and every once in a while I read from Bill Simmon's book of basketball. I mostly read the internet. I'm also reading Angela's Ashes but that's sorta on pause

Ever read Merkel's Man's Search for Meaning? Pretty good. Frankl, I think. Yes I read it a long time ago, and remember liking it, but don't remember much else. |

Any of you guys Tolkein fans? Yeah, I've read the Rings trilogy a few times - the first time, at age 13, in about 3 days. Other than The Hobbit, nothing else. |

I used to read a ton of books, but the internet seems to suck up most of my reading energy these days. I did just start Michelle Obama's book Becoming.

I've been thinking lately about Tom Bombadil and Beorn because neither are in the Silmarion, which is taking me forever. A comic book store guy once said to me "You read the Lord of the Rings. You study the Silmarion." It seems basically true. It's so complicated |

Tom Bombadil is my favorite character in Tolkien. Something about being absolute master of your domain, neither interested in nor affected by the Ring of Power.

Sadly, I have not read a book since college (which was late 90s). However, I do read a lot of articles, and blogs on the internet. Since I turned 43, I have been really interested in life articles.

I went to one book group in my life, decades ago. The book was The Culture of Narcissism - a really hard read. I slogged through it and when the group leader asked at the beginning of the meeting who had read the whole book I was the only one who raised his hand. Not much point in discussing a book with people who hadn't read it. Never went back.
