wow you seem really smart and interesting
Answer the question
I read a lot about fungus, picrel is one of my favorite books. Havn't been reading about fungus lately, tends to drop off during winter.
I read this picture book on hummingbirds recently. It was nice.
Do the flowers change in different places?
Nope.
🙁
Actually, what did you mean by "change in different places"? Are you asking if they're like cardboard cut-outs that you can move or whether the pages have different flowers? Actually, the flowers do change based on geography and new pages! The book is beautifully illustrated, and I recommend it.
Next, I am reading this book on honeybees.

This makes me happy, can I have the hummingbird title?
Nice.
I am reading about the philosophy of self-defense and just war theory.
So Aquinas for the latter?
I've read some Aquinas, but I'm mainly reading contemporary analytic stuff (Michael Walzer, Jeff McMahan, Helen Frowe, etc.).
Oh ok i have a Walzer book
Which works/authors/ideas are you finding particularly interesting?
I've just been reading/reading about various different ancient/classical poetic traditions. Mostly China at the moment.
Right now I'm reading Clifford Geertz's semiotic theory of culture, and while I generally support it, a lot of the historicism I'm being confronted with is flying in the face of the natural law theories I've come to support.
Yeah maintaining a position is hard if you're not willing to just accept the cognitive dissonance. Respect to you for seeking the truth, and Geertz sounds interesting, I've heard the name before but never looked him up.
I see it this way, I get occasional "aha" moments or bits of insight regardless which I may integrate into my own autodidact project, however altered.
Right, any good reader has to learn how to see authors as resources from which they can take certain things and leave others behind.
Lmao, haven't thought about that one in a minute.
I was reading From Hell but I put it aside to read the Dune series.
Additionally, since it's almost Easter and I've been feeling guilty about my backslided faith, I decided to start reading a few chapters of my study Bible and Imitation of Christ every night. So far so good.
For awhile I was doing my reading on the occult and mysticism/esotericism/x/tier stuff again, but then that led into what I said here and now I want to do more pious Christian reading. The cycle will continue I'm sure.

It will take some time to digest these, but digestion of these books will rest in enhanced thinking skills, so time is working in my favour when on a positive trajectory
