The Wheel of Time series. I'm not very far.

I read The Origin of Species and The Descent of Man in the last few weeks. I liked the Descent of Man more, the shift from Natura selection to two types of sexual selection are interesting. It's really interesting to see how evolutionary psychology has "eveolved" since.

Lost my reading mojo. Trying to crawl out of this massive depression, in the middle of this great book about Afghanistan leading up to 9/11, and I just can't do it. I assume this is just part of the anhedonia thing, but it is really an issue, as reading has always been a go-to activity. Frustrating!!

SP, how is your fluid reading been since it's picked up?

I'm back to normality again. Still, I'm thinking about getting fish oil though...

I've read it before but it was really good and I own it on my Kindle so I'm reading it again
