What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech
-
@Carnival-Boy interesting lineup of books. How is the books on constraints?
-
Boring. I'm not a fan of Goldratt or the Theory of Constraints, but my company is thinking of employing some Goldratt consultants (at huge cost) to look at our manufacturing setup and I'm looking to replace our ERP system next year, so I need to do some research. Is it an interest of yours?
-
For anyone wondering:
-
Currently I'm reading "Putting AMAZING back into GRACE" by Michael Horton. I just completed Father Brown's Mystery "The Secret of Father Brown" by G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936). It was an interesting read given the new PBS series based on some of these stories. I also completed "Grace" by Max Lucado. I found this to be a joy to read, very easy but packed with thought provoking ideas. I also recently finished a short book "The New Life in Christ Jesus" by Scofield (1843-1921) which is an old book but seemed so contemporary as I was reading it. It is available in the public domain. I obtained my copy from the Toronto Seminary.

No. Just sounded kind of interesting.

Been reading Becoming Functional too.

I just finished Dragons of Spring Dawning, the last of the original trilogy of the Dragonlance Chronicles.
-
Not a book but a good chunk of comics, I'm reading the entirety of Marvel's Age of Apocalypse including the near recent revisit. Then jumping into DC's Sinestro Wars, Blackest Night, & Brightest day arcs. Not books books, but Comics count and in this case a lot of them.
-
Just finished Atlantis World (book 3 of 3) and now am on The Sword of Moses.

@J1MM3RT only comic I ever enjoyed was Mous which won the Pulitzer, I believe. In the 80s which is when I got my copy.

Mous is soooooo good. My roommate has them & I tend to read them every couple of months or so.

Classics. I got mine before Mous 2 was written. I have both in their original printings.
