Oddbean new post about login | logout I knew it! You’re a Tolkien guy!
i would say im more a C.S Lewis, Frank Herbert, Louis Lamour, and book of Isaiah guy. But Tolkien guy is fine for government work❤️
I didn’t know Louis Lamour. Interesting.
he spent time with the tribes
Which book do you recommend I start reading Lamour with?
Oh gosh. i have no idea what you connect with. My favorites were the Sackett series. It spans from immigrating to the early colonies, (fleeing to more accurately), to several generations later.
schoot Connie this was years ago & to be honest they all mostly have the same scheme. i was like 9 or 10 yrs old but a lot of real facts in the Indian(native american) way with geography bonus.
The Haunted Mesa? That’s a very different one. I loved it as a 12 year old. I think there were a bunch about the Texas Ranger, Chick Bowdrie, that I must have chain-smoked.
Actually, im probably more of a Shel Silverstein guy really. if you’re into classifying.
I didn't know about Silverstein either. I'm not classifying. I really thought you were a Talkien guy, but to be fair I'm not surprised by your taste for C.S.Lewis.
if you don’t classify, you’re better than all of us. which would be pretty cool 🙂 speaking of classification, there is a picture of me, about 1 year old, in a stroller, holding a copy of Albert Camus’ “Resistance, Rebellion, and Death.” pretty sure i wasnt reading Camus at 1, but the picture makes me laugh.
