Seems to me, the son often buys opposite of the Dad. Ever notice that?

Same here Blaithin
Sapiens really was very interesting and really opens your eyes the games humans play with your beliefs!
I read his other two books also which were interesting but not quite like Sapiens.

Can pull out his ideas of “what are rights and morals except for figments of humans imaginations” on here quite often 😂

This was our university text book on soils back in 79 at U of M. Looked through it occasionally over the years, amazing how some information hasn't changed and some other stuff that was taught was so out to lunch. An american text book first published in 1958 used in a Canadian university. Hmmmm

I just finished reading Theodore Dreiser's The Trilogy of Desire just yesterday. I will not say that it was the most exciting book I have read, but it is undoubtedly one of the best series of novels that I have come across. The novel clearly demonstrates everything that ends in the pursuit of money, how certain actions and decisions turn out. In addition, it is very interesting to read about the life of financiers during the development of social

I have a set of 3 James Herriot books which were later compiled in "All Creatures Great and Small", alternately amusing, touching and all around good story-telling.

Some of his lines are so memorable, such as when the dog who loved surprising people jumped up put of the grass in front of him with an explosive "WOOF' right in his face. Herriot says that it about caused him "...an involuntary evacuation of the bowels...", a line that I've fully understood a time or two since I read it...

Also, there have been occasions when I resorted to one of his customer's verbiage when handling uncooperative cows - "MOVE OVER, YOU SHITTIN' OLD BOVRIL!", much to my helper's disgust...

Children's version as pictured -

Thanks for posting this, didn’t know there was a children’s version. Ordered and came in the mail today, kids won’t let me stop reading.

As mentioned on here, the kids loved the same 2 or 3 books. After getting tired of reading them I would tease the kids by sometimes changing a word or run the story off on a tangent. It never took long before they would point out that I wasn’t a very good reader or I am not following the story.

At least I knew they were listening to me. Eventually that morphed into where they wanted me to make up a story. Those stories always started the same. There were three (insert word: ducks,geese, whatever) named Huey, Dewey and Louis ....

Now, one of my daughters is in University and has three pets so I always ask about Huey, Dewey and Louis.
