Wow - I think my dh has read most of those books.

I'll ask him later and report back.

I did make him read The Dawkins Delusion years ago but I don't think he'd recommend it. Wink

The Blind Watchmaker again by Dawkins

The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sachs, really good.

Lalalatte · 06/12/2020 19:27

Or Oliver Sacks even

Dh said he's been reading fantasy recently for a bit of escapism. He did say Sam Harris has a new book out though.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions, they really are great.

Godel, Escher, Bach: an eternal golden braid.

My DS has read lots of the books you mention and has been trying to get me to read this for years but I never seem to get round to it.

RedLimoncello · 06/12/2020 20:27

The Great Influenza- John M Barry.

It's a massive book but just so incredibly gripping and well written. I have lots of your husband's reading list on my shelves but often struggle to finish non-fiction books; but I couldn't put this one down!

Stiff by Mary Roach - super interesting!

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 07/12/2020 05:43
