Paperback copy of Mere Christianity, by CS Lewis.
A little too late for Lent, but I started rereading Mere Christianity. I genuinely already forgot what it's about. It's been years since I bought and read this.

Two paperback books The Physical Foundations of General Relativity D.W. Sciama Astrophysics for People in a Hurry Neil deGrasse Tyson Below the books is a grey document pouch, meant for A5 sized paper.
Two small science books, roughly 48 years apart.
One explains the universe in simple terms, barely any math, in a few short chapters. The book is possible to read in one sitting.
The other explains advanced physics concepts, building up on a major […]

I should probably try making short reviews of these books I've been buying and reading recently.

Paperback copy of Europe: A History, by Norman Davies.
New addition to my ever-growing to-read stack. Got it cheap, but it's big and heavy: over 1300 pages, and weighs close to 2kg! It's now the biggest physical book I own.
When it's time for me to read it, I'll do it with an ebook. I ain't carrying this thing […]

Today's haul from my usual secondhand bookstore.
I still have a few books on my to-do list, but like the good bookworm that I am, that ain't stopping me from buying more!

Paperback copy of Anathem, by Neal Stephenson.
First foray into scifi novels.
I bought it yesterday, now roughly 15% in, and so far I'm liking it.
The in-world terms can be intuitively understood, and there's also a glossary at the back of the book. But I also like the challenge of trying to comprehend […]

Hardcover copy of The Picture Book of Quantum Mechanics, by Siegmund Brandt and Hans Dieter Dahmen. Despite the name, it's actually a graduate level textbook. The publisher's name, Springer-Verlag, is at the bottom right of the cover.
New book acquired for cheap.
No, I don't know shit about quantum mechanics.

An old brownish hardcover book, with no markings on the front cover.
Title page of the hardcover book Plane and Spherical Trigonometry by George N. Bauer and W. E. Brooke 3rd revised edition
My recent enthusiasm for Mathematics is making me buy books I normally wouldn't have given a second glance.
This one's a trig textbook from 1932(!), bought for 125 Philippine pesos (roughly $2).

Paperback copy of The Panda's Thumb, by Stephen Jay Gould. The book is upright leaning on a coffee equipment station, with other similar equipments on the background.
I am ending 2025 and ushering in 2026 with this book. I'm about 3/4 of the way through. I am enjoying the book so far.

Paperback copy of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, by Paul Kennedy.
Bought this from Booksale for 70 pesos (~ $1.2).
Grand theories aren't the type of books I normally prefer, but I think it might be fun to read one that's published in the final years of Cold War. And it's super cheap, even for the usual pricing of that […]

Kindle cover for The Midnight Library, by Matt Haig.
This is the first novel I've read since 2023. I rarely read novels, probably just a dozen or less in the past decade. Even with this, I was very selective, and deliberately went for a lighthearted book with a happy ending. I'm just not a fan of more […]
