Musings of a Compulsive Thinker

Recreational reading

Ooh, Friday the thirteenth.

Lovely connotations associated with this particular convergence of day and date.

(But that's not what I logged in to talk about.)

I have been told that I have bizarre reading habits.

I tend to agree.

The list of my current non-fiction reading is as follows:

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach;
Advanced First Aid and Emergency Care, by the American National Red Cross;
Psychologist with a Gun, by Detective Harvey Scholssberg, Ph.D.;
Practical Psychology for Police Officers, by Martin Reiser, Ed.D.;
and
AOPA Air Safety Foundation Handbook for Pilots.

For the record: No, I don't have a pilot's license, and neither am I likely to get one in the near future. But for reasons unknown even to myself, I rather enjoy reading rules of air traffic control patterns, navigational signaling, and other such seemingly mundane and otherwise useless things. Neither am I likely to become a police officer, nor a psychologist.

You see my point.

What can I say? I'm into self-education. I have eclectic tastes.
