Gini | 40 comments Finally found a book I might actually finish reading for the 0-99 group. The Book. Here's hoping.
Found the Black Swan, Taleb, in the same section. Older but it's readable and those swans still light from time to time.

Read 8/10 Getting there!! Finished Just Mercy from Bryan Stevenson for the 300 batch. A look at the justice system in the USA that isn't flattering at all. In fact this one will make you mad and make you cry and maybe even get you up and out on the campaign trail to fix some of what's broken.

Gini | 40 comments 9/10 now! One more to go!! This challenge has been a good one for me. Tougher than I expected, but worth the effort.
Just finished Our Sacred Signs, Soltes 704.948. I found it interesting and enjoyed reading it. He covered Jewish, Christian, and Muslim sacred signs. Religious symbols from the beginning of each religion (and before) to the end of the 20th century including some of the work from Picasso and Warhol. Surprised me with much of the recent history observations.
