Just started Practically Speaking and Biology Eleventh Edition, for Speech and Cell Biology class.
I prefer to read when it is not a requirement.

They are "minimesters" only a month long so I will be fine, I enjoy the fire hose method of learning better than a long drawn out semester. Thank you for the support though!Sounds like a doosy! Good luck.
I saw someone posted back in 2014 on it, but has anyone read "No Room for Error"?
Thank you, I saw someone posted back in 2014 about it and ordered it, Amazon prime delivers it to me tomorrow. Woo.Yes. It is a very good book.
The Moon's a Balloon by David Niven.
Read it as a kid, after reading the first couple of chapters I'm pretty sure kid me had no idea what I was reading.
The Swerve by Stephen Greenblatt... philosophy, religion, humanism, virtue, etc.
Yes, specifically with the Lucretian poem On The Nature Of ThingsIs the title a reference to the Epicurean swerve?
Patton and Rommel: Men of War in the Twentieth Century: Dennis Showalter
This books is a parallel biography of both generals, starting from their childhood. It tales you through their early military education.... and that's as far as I am right now. It's a great read so far. I've read individual books on both, but this parallel account makes the compare/contrast much easier to see.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/aww/aww04.htm (free copy)"The Art of Worldly Wisdom or The Pocket Oracle and the Art of Prudence, is a book of 300 maxims and commentary written by a 17th century Jesuit priest named Baltasar Gracián. Considered by many to be Machiavelli’s better in strategy and insight, Gracian’s maxims give advice on how to flourish and thrive in a cutthroat world filled with cunning, duplicity, and power struggles, all while still maintaining your dignity, honor, and self-respect. In many ways, The Art of Worldly Wisdom is a how-to book on fulfilling Christ’s admonition to his apostles to be “cunning as serpents and as innocent as doves.” "
Has anyone on here read this work?
I found it for free on a .pdf after reading about it on another site and thought it would be an interesting read.( http://www.artofmanliness.com/2012/07/08/the-art-of-worldly-wisdom/ )
