My family knows I like books so Christmas usually yields some new reads. I got $160 of gift certificates to Barnes and Noble and the three books pictured below. I specifically asked for The Achilles Trap. However, the one I started reading immediately is Donald D. Hoffman’s The Case Against Reality. It looks like it will cover my interest in learning more about science (I don’t know much!) and the nature of reality (and mysticism generally). The epigram, shared below, landed hard becaue it fits by current view. I’m sure I’ll post again about the author’s ideas.

Hope you got something good to read, too!
