busdriver Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Reading "The Soul of the Octopus" pretty good anecdotal stuff on the intelligence of octopuses and thoughts on what an being an octopus may be like. Based on my interactions with them they are incredibly intelligent, and one of my favorite animals. If you like octopuses, well worth a read! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 have started two books, which i go into more detail in a forthcoming Kenfessional. the first, 'Grape Olive Pig' by Matt Goulding. an exploration of Spanish food - and Spain generally. this is the guy behind Roads & Kingdoms site and has done a similar book on Japan. he writes really well, is knowledgeable and obviously loves his topic. it truly does make one want to be on that next plane to Barcelona. the next, one i read as a young kid in the 70s. was a huge hit then and curious to see if it held up and if i'd enjoy it as much. 'Watership Down' by Richard Adams. i know some might be put off by a 600 page book on talking rabbits but i am absolutely loving it. one of those books that kids could really enjoy but is really more for adults. anyone who does a list of the great books of the 20th century and does not include this one should start again. it is that good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcrunch Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Never Eat Alone. Great book, reframing what networking is. Generosity begets generosity. After I finish that, same co-author, different idea: negotiations. Never Split The Difference. https://www.amazon.com/Never-Eat-Alone-Secrets-Relationship/dp/0385512058/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502247570&sr=8-1&keywords=never+eat+alone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014DUR7L2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IKTT1CNRLRREQ&colid=SLGDLDLW52VD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant say for certain as I have not finished any as of yet. If I had to say, I would recommend The Last Gunfight as I love the story of the Gunfight at the OK Corral. So far I have read 7 books on the subject including books about the participants. Funny thing is that it did not take place at the OK Corral. I have read many books on this and the Titanic. I will look back at what I have read. I will give some suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
