Decoding Your Cat & How to Read a Book.
Decoding Your Cat is actually written by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, and it’s about general cat behavior, behavioral issues, the issues cats face in addressing behavioral issues, how to train your cat and debunking cat myths [For example, contrary to popular belief, cats don’t actually see us as “clumsy cats”. They know we are a different species, but still use cat body language to communicate— though they’re still apt to mimic when they can]. Every chapter has anecdotes so that you can get an idea of how conflicts play out between cats and humans. I have already finished this book last month, though I review it every now and then to refresh what I know, but mostly because of the cute cat pictures. Also, I wanted to recommend this book.
I’m only a fourth into “How to Read a Book” by Mortimer J. Adler, and unfortunately I still haven’t done pre-reading on it (ironic, given that the book says that it’s one of the first kinds of reading that you must do) so I’m just plowing through it, but from my impression it’s an interesting read that offers information that you would otherwise not reflect on. Well, besides the tips on how to read, it tells you why, and those parts are the most interesting to me. I’m currently on the part about words vs terms, and it gives me an insight of how words are used as terms in text from different fields. There are many definitions of a word, but in technical books some words are important that they specify one term, though one term can be described by more than one.
That’s why the post advocates for public transport. So that we can have better options.
Now let’s see what new conspiracy the right-wingers will make about this
Well, unfortunately in my country the Philippines, I only have one public library in my city, and it’s woefully incomplete. My university library is better, but I’m not sure if everyone outside the school can use it. In terms of buying books… I’m only aware of one bookstore that doesn’t just fill their bookshelves with Wattpad fiction, lol.
I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.
