RE: A Book's Voice - being read to

in #philosophy2 months ago

This is me back in the days

I am past that point mostly with a toddler and falling asleep before them. Now I have a teenager!

That said, I have never given up on reading. My eyes are not very good anymore. Let me tell you, nothing is a bigger curse to a geologist when they begin the lose their eyes!

Anyways, I read still read every day.

To help my eyes, and to give them a bit of rest, lot of the times now I read audiobooks. Thanks to my friends at hive, there is never any shortage of recommendations.
Reading now:

"The Miracles of the Namiya General Store"....Keigo Higashino

Sort:  

Yeah I'll enjoy every minute before my little one gets older... She's very self-sufficient already, and can do a lot on her own. But my girlfriend's daughter is in puberty now, and that is a hassle. I'm trying to take notes on everything going on there, and applying preventive measurements in my parenting style :-D

How is that book? I haven't read any prose in a while, currently on Lewis' Abolition of Man - but just started. Philosophy English is a little different. But actually easier than philosophy German, and that comes from decently-read German native. The book my friend and I read together was "The Burn-Out Society" from byung-chol han, the book I was reading to my gf was "The Non-Things", also by han. So way too much Philosophy, I need my mind to rest a little.
