Today we are going to write about something I like.
It has been hard to choose because I am often reading more than one thing at the time. I read the newspaper, academic papers, stuff on meditation, the brain, essays, my students' blogs, about health etc.
I started reading about the brain some years back when I studied language acquisition and education = learning processes. I have to say I have read quite a bit about the brain and personality and it nevere ceases to amaze me.
However, at the moment I am not reading about the brain. I am reading two books. One is called "the book of strange new things" by Michel Faber. This is a science fiction novel which is interesting and set in the future on a devastated earth and a far planet with alliens. It is about how this human couple live apart while she is expecting a baby on earth and how he deals with alliens being a religious priest on this far planet.
Another book I am reading is one called "Gut "The inside story of of our body's most unde- rated organ" by doctor Guilia Enders. This is an interesting book since it refers to processes that happen in our body and how what we eat and how we prepare food can affect from the movement of our bowels to the weight we have and how we emotionally feel. .It also has some really interesting illustrations and drawings that attempt to describe processes which happen in our stomach or intestines.
