I decided to put together a list of educational books that I've read so that I may better reference them at a glance instead of digging through piles of boxes to see which ones I still have. Upon embarking on this task I decides to add documentaries that I have watched this semester as well. I am a amazed at how quickly this list grew and I have not even touched the older videos I have on DVD that I have watched prior to this semester. I thought you guys might be interested in the list. In the event you wanted to watch or purchase one of these films I could give you a thumbs up or down review before purchase. LOL All of these films I currently own. I'm not counting things that I saw on tv. 1. BBC Earth- The Power of the Planet ~ Volcanoes 2. BBC Earth – The Power of the Planet ~ Atmosphere 3. BBC Earth – The Power of the Planet ~ Ice 4.

I've seen most of those... I'm a sucker for PBS, Discovery, History Channel... anything with Documentaries. History Channel seems to have the poorest quality shows though... The bad ones are just slide shows with lousy narration.
I've been very reluctant to search the History Channel for that very reason. I love history but some of those shows are just terrible.
An impressive list, F8L, and good choices given what's on, but holy crap is that ever a lot of TV. Turn the thing off and crack a book for a change, will ya?
