1. Mine don't, but I'm replying since this group never gets any action

The Fiction group gets all the love

[libodem]

2. I know

That is where I usually post. I have a pile of Carlos Castaneda from the 70's. I amuse myself with which group would I put that picture. Hee hee hee. Anthropology, anyone?

3. What are your nonfiction

Selections like? If I may so boldly inquire?

4. I'm surrently re-re-reading "Armed Madhouse" by Greg Palast.

I tend to lean toward economics, science, and brain-related stuff. With some David Sedaris thrown in for good measure

6. hmmm?

Interesting.

5. My non fiction runs heavily

to history, sociology, biography, epidemiology, language. Not too much in the topics represented in your picture.

8. Yes.

Right now I'm reading Karl Marx: A Nineteenth Century Life, by Jonathan Sperber.

Also have been reading pieces of Subliminal by Leonard Mlodinow, Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Bernstein.

I recommend Healing the Shame that Binds You to a lot of people, especially in the Religion groups on DU.

I recently read All Quiet on the Western Front, which is classic fiction. I don't read contemporary fiction.

I see in your picture you have Alan Watts, who was the only writer on Buddhism in English when I started investigating Buddhism back in the 1970s when I was in college. Now there are lots of baby boomers who studied Buddhism and write about it, like Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chodron and Bhikkhu Bodhi. Bhikkhu Bodhi has done complete translations of the four books of the Nikayas and recently finished the Numbered Discourses.

9. I usually read fiction

I like historical stuff. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Your choices sound interesting, too.

This is a very quiet group.

13. Mine are mostly on History, Science, Buddhism, and Philosophy.

[libodem]

14. I love those subjects

But none of my books particularly reflect that. Most of the histories I enjoy are the historical fictions where they mix in a human interest line with the actual events.

I don't think Tao of Physics is pictured but that's the kind of Science I like.
