@BekaReid is doing one of these so I thought it might help me get through my stack, too. Mostly sci fi and history that's accumulated over the summer. #TBRBingo

This explains so much.

This essay was the first I ever read of Quine and his treatment of the ontological problem is responsible in part for interesting me in philosophy. Such a deceptively simple question, "What is there?"

Second book this month I've read with a cetacean flying a spaceship, must be a trend I was unaware of.

A spaceship crewed by a few humans and dozens of "uplifted" sentient dolphins who sometimes communicate in verse... Startide Rising is wonderfully strange.

Much prefer paper books, but it sure is nice to have a library in your pocket when flying.

Just started today. Campbell has an interesting writing style, verbose and varied without feeling wordy. The intro is great, pointing out the tendency to mock others beliefs and traditions for being irrational while failing to hold one's own beliefs up to the same standard.

Really enjoyed this collection, especially the essays looking at consensual, at-will marriage by Jacqueline Murray and Shannon McSheffrey. Very glad to have stumbled on it buried in a teetering stack at a used bookstore.
