Books ARGH Us!

So what books are everyone reading? Recommend something and give a brief reason why.

They could be books on schizophrenia or fiction. Id like to hear about what you guys read and pick up.

I just listened to the audiobook Wise Man's Fear. That's the second book in a 3 part trilogy. The last book hasn't been written. The first book in the series, titled The Name of the Wind, turned out to be one of my favorite books. Books with genius protagonists are the best i think. I love to read how their minds work. It's a charming fantasy novel about a coming of age genius who goes on adventure and learns the mysteries of magic and fighting to avenge his family. I love the love story involved. It's unlike any other i encountered. My friend Jill didn't like it though. She has opinions of the young woman. lol It's rather complex.

SP, i thought the tale with the kathar (spelling?) was interesting. The being who lives amongst the fairies who all is guarded from. Bast thinks they are the worst creature(s?). How it messes with one's fate. Makes me scratch my head how it can turn out.

Hopefully i didn't spoil anything. I tried to be vague.

Sorry DT barely remember the book, my memory sucks these days.

I'm reading the A+ all in one exam guide---currently about bios.

I first read bios as bio's as in about people and history that created A+ but then i remembered flashing my own bios on my motherboards. **** that up and it's toast! Even worse, unlike toast, you can't scrap that up with a butter knife either.

For curious people, from Wiki:

Yes I only flashed the bios once when my hard drive was failing and that was one of the troubleshooting tips------I was like hmmm lets try it and I was one of those people who had a second password on the bios just to make the computer as unsellable as possible if someone stole it. I feel like reading this book is like reading ancient history.....I know the modern version is uefi but its not like I've ever had to access it, apparently its more of a graphical interface than ye olde bios. Apparently you can get to it thought some troubleshooting menu without even having to jam on the F2 etc when booting up.

Speaking of toast I had to update the firmware in my camera once and the battery died halfway though the process-----toast-----so sad....

Right now I'm also giving Star Wars Revan a turn to read. Its a short book and reads very much like a teenager book. It's filled with imagery and not very much actual content and philosophy. I just don't get it. Star *****s has so much potential for philosophy yet they drag it through the mud with adolescent action. sigh. I really hope The Last Jedi turns up something new because Star Wars really hasn't been mind bending.

Star Wars Revan Takes place after the game, Knights of the Old Republic II. He was a character in the first KotoR game. I'm not sure if i will finish this book... Ill read it for another hour and decide then.

Some of my favorites are Ian McDonald. Out on Blue Six is my favorite, now i have it on Audible i listen to it over and over.

How do you like audible? Do you use it on your phone? Audiobooks seem so expensive... so i use bit torrent and steal them. Half the time i already have the book and just dont' have time away from work to read it so i listen to it at work. God i'm awful.

Irony: I downloaded so many ethics courses illegally from bit torrent that i got a warning from thegreatcourses.com to stop immediately. lol Heyoooo!

Windows phone has audible. I wish there was a monthly subscription fee to listen to as many books a month as you want. I'd buy that for sure if i could use it on my phone. As soon as monthly subscriptions for music started i stopped downloaded music illegally.

Out on Blue Six about from AmazonReminds me of A Brave New World a bit. I love dystopians. Wow, Neal Stephenson gave it a review. That's cool. He's one of my favorite authors.

What A+ book are you using?

The one by mike Meyers 9th edition.....allinone comptia a+ certification exam guide.... do you have other recommendations?

I'm not even sure I'll take the a+ but I figured I'd start with the basics at least as far as learning......

Best book I have ever read Geothe's Faust. This is the best translation I've found

I'm also reading bay of sighs by Nora Roberts but it's been sitting half read for a year......too hard for me to get into fiction these days.....

The book god great reviews in volumes. Maybe if you listen to some instrumental with warm cup of coffee in the library you will be able to get into it. Add a little bailies to the coffee if that helps. It helps me.

I read the first one in the series quickly but this one just isn't as fun......

That's how I first felt about Wise Men's Fear. That's how I feel about a lot of media actually. The first Matrix was the best. Ender's game was the best, Part 1 of Faust was the best, but there are so many exceptions. I thought Harry Potter just kept on getting better and better. It got so dark towards the end. I loved it.

That is one of the best ones to read! I also recommend Professor Messer's YouTube Channel. If you do decide to take the test and have any questions let me know! I'm A+ certified as of Oct last year.

Cool...thanks a lot!

Im reading the philosophy of loneliness by lars svendsen

and on the shortness of life by seneca.

You should share what you learn from them.

I havent read them in a few days but i will when i finish them

On the shortness of human life, Protagoras is to have written, "Concerning the gods, I have no means of knowing whether they exist or not, nor of what sort they may be, because of the obscurity of the subject, and the brevity of human life."

I'm re~reading the Harry Potter series. Just finishing up the Goblet of Fire

I'm reading The Zookeepers Wife as well

I hear the audiobooks of the harry potter series are fantastic. Stephen fry does an amazing job I hear with voices.

I need him to narrate the ones in my head then
