Books I'm Reading
I typically have several I am juggling at the same time, there is so much good stuff out there. But the lead one is The Voices of Time by J.T. Fraser, it’s a survey of man’s views of time as expressed by the sciences and the humanities. It was written in 1966, it is incredible still in its relevance. You know, hard to be believed by the young but there was knowledge before the internet.
