whatever happened to reading. Let's look at some of my recent book recommendations as many of you know, David Pacman dot­coms
recommendations an extensive list extensive list of fiction and non­fiction books. People off an email. Me, David, do you have any book suggestions? Yes, I do... David pack and dot com
recommendations. Let me give you four more to non­fiction and two fiction books. I recently read this book Into the Wild by John Crack hour, the book is from the late 90s it is about
a young man named Chris McCandless who after giving away 24, 000 bucks that he had saved to an environmental group basically went into the wild in rural Alaska and did not make it out alive. And
what John Crack hour does who is in and outdoors, climbing this sort of journalist about out outdoor activities and sports and a climber himself, he followed Chris McCandless is trip and
pieced back together what happened. The book is excellent, it is sad, it is a great combination of narrative non­fiction with investigative work and science. It's a very quick read. Only what is it
about 180 pages or... So read it in a few days really great book Into the Wild by John Crack our
second non­fiction recommendation. I've never read anything before by Edward O. Wilson, but now I have, and I read the book, the meaning of human existence. Edward O. Wilson is a biologist and
naturalist and the book is an overview, of such topics as what makes humans different, from other species, what is the significance of homo sapiens not only on the planet but in the solar system. And
even questions more broadly about our role in the universe. There's some environmental stuff, there's some animal behavior stuff fascinating stuff about everything from ants to culture would not

recommend this more highly. Also a very quick read only a couple hundred pages. And it is very, very readable to use a term that I sort of don't like but I think those communicate kind of what I
mean here it is not densely packed with citations and footnotes, and that type of thing. It's very well put together, in terms of communicating a lot of information in an accessible way. The meaning of
human existence by Edward O. Wilson to non­fiction recommendations. Let me give you two
fiction recommendations. Now this book was recommended to me by Joe Robin's guest Booker, who I think knew that. I like the genre so I genre.
The book is due day book by Connie Willis, Connie Willis, I've previously recommended her more recent work, black out and all clear. This book is from I believe the early 90s, maybe written in
1992, and it is a sort of time travel caper which does have a sort of a plot point that relates around a contagious virus. It felt a little all too real, reading some elements of this right now. But Connie
Willis is one of the best when it comes to time travel sci­fi and I think he would really enjoy this book. Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis. And lastly, the testaments this is the sequel to The Hand
maids tail by Margaret Atwood, as it is. It fills in a lot of the unknowns. If you recently read or read some time ago handmade tale, this is
the SQL but it also tells us a lot about of how the universe that exists in handmade tale came to be Margaret Atwood is absolutely one of the best and I could not recommend this more highly as well.
