Eighth Batch of Dewey Entries

A few books on religion and science this time.  My husband has found my criteria (other than the whole Dewey decimal number) in selecting books.  I like provocative titles.  If it has a good title, I will read it.  If it doesn't have a good title, I'll bypass it.  In case you haven't noticed this trend, like I hadn't, I'm pointing it out.  I'm soooo superficial when it comes to books. 

I really liked Bad Language in this batch of books.  It was intriguing and made me think.  My least favorite in this batch was Language and Human Behavior.  Oh my, was that tedious!  The circular logic and I disagreed with the fundamental basis of his theory, plus I didn't like his writing style.  I must say that I just scanned the last 50 pages. 

I've read about 45 books thus far for the Dewey project.  Not too bad.  I'm not sure how much progress I'll make through the end of the year, but I know I will make it a priority in 2011.  I'm kinda burnt out on non-fiction, so I may choose to read some engaging fiction books for the rest of the year.
