    I'm reading a new translation of the Tao Te Ching by Lin Yutang. Written in 1948, but new to me. I'm going to recommend this version to anyone who asks for my favorite translation. For each verse, it includes Yutang's translation, but also excerpts from the Chuang Tzu which are relevant. Chuang Tzu is the second founder of Taoism after Lao Tzu. He wrote a couple of hundred years after Lao Tzu. You should be able to find a free PDF version online.

    Are you familiar with Dao De Jing: A Philosophical Translation by Roger Ames & David Hall? If so, what do you think of it? I've found it a much more insightful reading (between the lines) than any other version of Laozi's text. I've been meaning to reread it for quite some time ...

    Thanks for the reference. I hadn't heard of it. Went on Amazon. Bought it in Kindle.

    One Damn Thing After Another, Jodi Taylor, very light time travel sci-fi I'm listening to with my wife.

    Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years, Diarmaid MacCollouch, a very dense survey of the history of the faith begining with ancient Greek and Hebrew culture. Also listening to this with my wife. Actually read this years ago but it's such a wide ranging history that you can't get it all in one go.

    Element of the Philosophy of Right - Hegel - suprisingly accessible after the section of abstract right... for a Hegel Book.

    Causation: A User's Guide, Hall and Paul. I really wanted to get into this but it is very dry. Might have to return later.

    Emma, Austin. Never read it before. Austin brings the delightful dialogue as always. I always like Clueless.
