    Re-reading the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon books). I don't particularly like the writing, but the story is good and I do enjoy the world-building. But ready to be done so I can move on to something else.

    Will you include his newest release, which follows the adventures of Murtagh after the war is over?

    I'm a bit late. Oops. I did use a credit on audible to go ahead and get Murtagh, but I'm gonna take a bit of a break with something else before I dive into it.

    https://ia801609.us.archive.org/29/items/kaufman-s-clinical-neurology-for-psychiatrists-pdfdrive/The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity (Carlo M. Cipolla) (Z-Library).pdf

    The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity — Cipolla, Carlo M.
    FOREWORD
    NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB
    When I start at the top left corner of a page in The Basic Laws of Human
    Stupidity, I have the feeling of reading a satire. Ten lines into it, some doubts
    erupt—could this be serious? When I reach the bottom right corner, I am
    certain it must be a serious work of scholarship in economic analysis. Then,
    upon turning the page, the cycle starts again, thankfully, because economics
    is boring (by design) and this is playful, hence fun to read.
    The Basic Laws asserts that 1) there will always be more stupid people
    than you think; 2) the proportion of stupid people is invariant to intellectual,
    social or geographic segmentation. The ratio will be the same among Nobel
    Prize winners as it will be among a selection of tax accountants (except I am
    sure that there must be a higher prevalence among laureates of the pseudo-
    Nobel in economics). I will leave the remaining laws to avoid spoiling the
    read—this is a very short book.

    Just started The Beautiful Cigar Girl by Daniel Stashower. I have read a few of his lately. Non-fiction, but they read like pretty good mysteries.

    Immanuel Kant
    AN Answer to the Question: 'What Is Enlightenment?' (Penguin Great Ideas)

    Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why such a large part of mankind gladly remain minors all their lives, long after nature has freed them from external guidance. They are the reasons why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor. If I have a book that thinks for me, a pastor who acts as my conscience, a physician who prescribes my diet, and so on–then I have no need to exert myself. I have no need to think, if only I can pay; others will take care of that disagreeable business for me. Those guardians who have kindly taken supervision upon themselves see to it that the overwhelming majority of mankind–among them the entire fair sex–should consider the step to maturity, not only as hard, but as extremely dangerous. First, these guardians make their domestic cattle stupid and carefully prevent the docile creatures from taking a single step without the leading-strings to which they have fastened them. Then they show them the danger that would threaten them if they should try to walk by themselves. Now this danger is really not very great; after stumbling a few times they would, at last, learn to walk. However, examples of such failures intimidate and generally discourage all further attempts.
