What are you reading?

FWIW there is a movie of the same name and another recent flick. Society of the Snow(??)
Watched both - thought the first one was better.
 
Started listening to this Audiobook on a recommendation from BIL....very good.

Apparently there's an AppleTV series based on this, also good from what I'm hearing.

Really enjoyed 'Society of the Snow' when I saw it last week. I'm not a fan of dubbed movies, but it was well enough done that it didn't take away from the movie much. Usually I prefer captions over dubbing, but not in this case.

I need to find the original movie as I'd like to see that.
 
Alive movie?? It is around but don't recall where.... Both are good productions with Society maybe a cut above ...Alive a bit slicker.
Book Alive is superior to Society book which I found hard to follow.
All can bring tears...the follow ups in particular
 
Been a few decades since I saw the first one, but yeah I thought it was better.
 
Reading Mother of Storms again ...how incredibly prescient that book is.
Triggered by seeing this
and how the book covers people working and sleeping in their self driving cars as they report on the internet and earn money by being popular.
Itchy Boots earns $150k a month riding around the world on various motorcycle adventures and she is not the only one.
When you consider the book was written in 1994 ....!!!!! The guy just nailed so many aspects.
Highly recommended.

Why do we look the way we do? What does the human hand have in common with the wing of a fly? Are breasts, sweat glands, and scales connected in some way? To better understand the inner workings of our bodies and to trace the origins of many of today’s most common diseases, we have to turn to unexpected sources: worms, flies, and even fish.

Neil Shubin, a leading paleontologist and professor of anatomy who discovered Tiktaalik–the “missing link” that made headlines around the world in April 2006–tells the story of evolution by tracing the organs of the human body back millions of years, long before the first creatures walked the earth. By examining fossils and DNA, Shubin shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our head is organized like that of a long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genome look and function like those of worms and bacteria.

very well written and explained ...starting out in a fav riding area Hyner Pennsylvania.
 


Had not realized the author of the book is actually the actor that plays in the TV series ( Highly recommended )
I was in Tokyo for a few weeks right around the same time this was set and had been there a number of times before on business so the setting is crazy familiar...lots of memories.
