Gonna start with my Sherlock Holmes collection. I'm halfway they the first story and I really love the style of writingI'm just not reading as much as I want to.
After that I'll probably dig into another King book. Got Mr Mercedes and Doctor Sleep for xmas.

Speaking of Nagel I need to get around to buying his "view from nowhere" since I couldn't locate an online copy. So I'll read that sometime next year.

I would probably read Ayaan Hirsi Ali's book apart from that
When I started my PhD I decided I should know more about philosophy so I read the History of Western Philosophy, or at least tried to. That was when I realised I should stick to science and confine myself to reading Popper. I learned alot more from posting on this board in the good old days than I did from Russel's book. It's a shame Achilles etc don;t post here anymore.
I rarely read pop sci books but Nick Lane's

Thankyou for those recommendations, I was actually a little tongue in cheek with the OP.
I liked what you said in the latest abortion thread as we seem to agree.

I think women tend to have a more practical view of abortion.

Hardly surprising since many of us have experienced some of the processes or, can at least look forward to either participating in it or taking steps to avoid it.
