idea for a book that’s like Father Brown but instead of solving mysteries it’s a priest who has insight about aliens 🤔👽

Reads like pride and prejudice for men so far :)

“Research shows that people who have at least some control over their emotions report greater life satisfaction, optimism, purpose, and better relationships with others.”

Good so far— lots of concepts that I think I knew intuitively but it’s good to have them reiterated. It kind of makes me want to become a therapist lol

Calling Dr. Thigpin tomorrow! 😳

The author of this book gave me his phone number 😳 might call him to talk about aliens and Catholicism soon

Haven’t been as active on the goodreads lately but I’ll be back for the summer now— trust 🤞

Reading this before bed so I get Catholic alien dreams 🇻🇦👽

“Catholics and other Christians need not be disturbed by the possibility that intelligent extraterrestrial races could exist. As we shall see, though a public encounter with ETI would raise many questions to be answered about their spiritual and moral status, the Catholic faith could accommodate their existence as it has so many scientific discoveries over the centuries” (2%). 👽👽👽

i will carry the logs 👋

Who’s gonna update the goodreads? 😤

Started reading this book for the first time two years ago before the best summer of my life— now it is once again by my side, following me into a new stage of life.

“The road goes ever on and on…”

Forgot how the story goes so I’m actually in suspense here

i like the whole gondor/mordor thing. all cities should have an evil version right across the river, like Greenville and Spartanburg

From the beginning it seems like Silver is trying to describe a certain personality type which is prone to taking risks.

These people tend to be analytical (seeking to maximize expected value) and also competitive.

Even from the intro what I found to be interesting is that I feel like I have a lot of the traits being attributed to risk-takers, but I’d still (generally) describe myself as a risk-adverse person.

boring textbook

3rd read through of this coming up!

continuing this boy again

Tolkien books must have appendicitis the way I want their appendix removed

Guesstimating my progress because I’ve already read the main narrative but ik there’s more stuff in the book ?

music while reading, yea or nay?

real ones skip the preface, sorry Christopher

this book is silmarilar to the lord of the rings
