What is a book that you’re planning to read?

Question

I’m not much of a reader, I haven’t read a book in yearssssss. But I’m really interested in reading Jennette Mccurdys book “I’m Glad My Mom Died”

She talks about her mom abusing her, sexual abuse by producers on Nickelodeon, how she developed eating disorders from acting, her resentment towards Ariana Grande, etc.

this book bouta be good af 💀

I would read any book from child stars talking about what went down behind the scenes of those shows. Dan Schneider (the creator of Zoey 101, Drake and Josh, iCarly, Victorious, Sam and Cat, etc.) was a disgusting piece of shit 🤢

Just found another book that’s pretty cool. It’s called “The drug users bible”
Don’t remember the authors name but he tried 157 drugs and talks about his experience and also gives instructions on how to do each drug in the safest way possible

TITLE: The Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy
SUBTITLE: What Animals on Earth Reveal About Aliens - and Ourselves

TITLE: ‘The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy’ Review: Critters of the Cosmos
SUBTITLE: If alien life exists, would the creatures on other planets be subject to the same evolutionary mechanisms as on Earth?
By David P. Barash
March 17, 2021 6:00 pm ET

There are many ways of being alone. You can be alone in a room, a house, even a crowd. You can be really alone in a wilderness, or really, really alone in the universe. It’s that last, existential and cosmic loneliness that astronomers and specialists in astrobiology have in mind when they ask “Are we alone?”

In his book “The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy,” Arik Kershenbaum, a zoologist and lecturer at Girton College, University of Cambridge, takes a novel and rewarding approach to this question. He is not too concerned about the evidence for or against the existence of extraterrestrial life; rather, he is interested in hypothesizing about what forms it might take, given what we know about conditions on other worlds. Instead of Enrico Fermi’s famous question, But where is everybody? Mr. Kershenbaum asks: What would everybody be like?

TITLE: When the Aliens Arrive, What Will They Look Like? A Zoologist Has Answers
By Kermit Pattison
Published March 16, 2021Updated March 17, 2021

Is anybody else out there? For as long as humans have recognized Earth as but one planet in a vast, orb-speckled universe, we have pondered the mystery of extraterrestrial life.
...

What might we find elsewhere?

One zoologist suggests some answers actually may be hiding in plain sight, right here at home. In a provocative new book, “The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy,” Arik Kershenbaum contends that life on Earth provides hints of what we might expect to find on other planets.

Kershenbaum, a scientist at the University of Cambridge, asserts that the “universal laws of biology” that govern life on Earth also apply to aliens. The most important is that species evolve by natural selection, the bedrock idea of evolutionary biology proposed by Charles Darwin. No matter how alien biochemistry might work and no matter how planetary environments might differ, Kershenbaum argues that some version of Darwinian selection would be at work — and would have channelled alien evolution to restricted menus of possibilities.

Thus, Kershenbaum predicts that alien life will bear striking parallels to earthly life.

I'd LIKE to re-read, "The Real Animal House" by Chris Miller (along with all of his other stories) but, I'm not even sure I still have a copy!! I lost most of my books and my National Lampoon collection (I had every issue!!) 2 years ago because of my greedy, evil ex-sisters!!
