\nOn Saturday I attended a discussion by Walter Isaacson for his new biography, “Einstein: His Life and Universe”<\/em><\/a>. Very interesting discussion; I’m quite eager to read the biography. I recorded<\/a> the lecture for those interested in hearing it. I did read the author’s previous biography on Benjamin Franklin<\/a>, and enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

In addition, last night I went to a signing by Arthur Phillips, for his new book: “Angelica<\/a><\/em>“. <\/p>\n

This is the second time I’ve attended a reading by this author (a couple of years ago I went to his “The Egyptologist<\/a><\/em>” reading). <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed Arthur Phillip’s reading\/talk (which I also recorded<\/a>). I didn’t expect the boys to be interested (I took them to Comet Ping Pong prior as a sort of “pre-reward”), but both asked pointed questions about ghost stories and why the author liked\/disliked them.
\nAngelica<\/em> is written in 4 parts, with 4 different points of view. One of the parts involves ghosts and\/or the supernatural. The book has received good reviews, but I need to find time to read The Egyptologist<\/a><\/em> first. My stack of “to be read” books seems to increase by 2-3 each time I read one. Oh well – one can never have too many books; and I’ll never run out of new material to transport me out of a mundane world. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
