Daily Thoughts 05/14/2017

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some of We Have No Idea A Guide to the Unknown Universe by George Cham and Daniel White.  I am reading about dark energy and dark matter which make up 95% of the universe.  Very little is known about either dark energy or dark matter.

I also started reading Twelve Steps to A Compassionate Life by Karen Armstrong.  This is an interfaith book which draws from taoism, buddhism, judaism, christianity, and islam to discuss compassion and how to be more compassionate.  I am reading it online in my browser in Overdrive.

I spent a little time thinking about doing an Author Fair at the library.
