Back to Non-Fiction

After reading Sideways, I have reverted back to non-fiction. There were a slew of books to choose from:

1. Science and Relegion - Bertrand Russell
2. Why I am not a Christian - Bertrand Russell
3. Complete Plato
4. Development as Freedom - Amartya Sen; Left in half a long time ago.
   
5. The Emperor's New Mind - Roger Penrose
6. Vernon God Little
7. And then some.

I was confused for a while but book number 1 in the above list won. It has been a while since I read any of Russell's works. Number 3 was an intimidating tome; Number 4 was a tad too involved; Number 5 was heavy on Math; Number 6 - well, I was not in a mood for another fiction.

Between the two books by Russell, I choose Science and Relegion because the theme seemed to follow that of Consilience. Maybe not. I am just past the introduction (written by Mike Ruse, a Zoology and Philosophy Professor in Canada) and have finished a few pages in the first chapter.

More to come.
