Anybody read “Sapiens” by Yuval Noah Harari?

I thought it was an excellent, easy read through the history of humankind.
Towards the end when he got a bit into looking into the future not so much.

Concur,my old man was in Dunlop’s,never worked again,banger within 2 yrs, working since 14

Glad ye know it,and the pecking order

I have that “21 Lessons” book on my to-do list, might check is it worth going back that one first.

Think that one comes after Sapiens & Homo Deus, which looks to a sort of bionic future for man\bionicman kind. I haven’t got to that one yet.

Its a decent read alright. If you enjoyed Sapiens you should read this. .

I read it. Good book.

Empire,the gates of Rome,of course you need an imagination to enjoy historical stuff,maybe I should have held off posting

Humanology by Luke O’Neill is a good one to follow up.

I’m about half way through this. Very good so far although the subject matter wanders quite a bit.

His essential point is that most of the principles of Buddhism are reconciled with those of natural selection and Buddhism is thus ‘true’.

Adds a bit of balance

Reading “In the shadows of the American century:The Rise and Decline of US Global Power” by AW McCoy at the moment. Not too far into it but it’s very interesting.

Heavy going?

Not really … yet! :grinning:

Ploughing through it,came across a few of them

Damaged goods is a biography of Philip Green. Great story focusing around the collapse of BHS and hia efforts to distance himself from 500m worth of a pension fund obligation

The book presents Green as someone with pretty much no redeeming features at all
