I just started Simulacron-3 by Daniel Galouye (which is the book that inspired the movie The 13th Floor). The book I most recently finished is Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Found it at a yard sale a few years ago and was curious to read since it was all the rage in the 90s. I’d also like to read Dianetics one day out of curiosity since as a little kid in the 80s I saw those commercials all the time

Currently re-reading the Old Testament (NIV). Taking it slowly while I dwell on a few questions, such as what were things like before and just after the flood? What was the population growth? What was a city like, who built them and how? I also want to better understand the post-flood lineage of Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob (Israel); why were there twelve tribes and what made each tribe unique? What caused enmity between some of Abraham's descendants that carry on to this day? And what can I learn about the human condition from all that?
Previous book was "I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist." It's a dense book. As I go through I try to play devil's advocate with the logic challenging myself to think about the possibilities of existence; as opposed to just memorizing talking points from pages and spewing them out without understanding them.
I'm also re-reading the Bible but in reverse order to know which prophecies to watch for.
