    I just finished reading Fate of Worlds by Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner.
    It is the ninth volume of the Ringworld Sci-Fi saga.

    I was reading my old SCLA (Senior Claim Law Associate) books, but that's hardly Art...It's technical, and most people find the 2 topics really dry (insurance & law) I enjoy them. Even though i was terminated, I figure rereading never hurts. Hey who knows, after tightening my loose screws, and ridding myself of depression, Anxiety and many other mental disorders, I'll go back to working.

    HOWEVER: due to a discussion on SB, I just torrented Necromonicon


    give me something different to read (even though I believe in no religions...)

    I just started reading Shadows in Flight by Orson Scott Card.
    It is the ninth volume in the Ender's Game Sci-Fi saga.

    Book written by a 13 year old Japanese boy with Autism. it's like reading a memoir of an alien.. and I mean that in all the best ways. FASCINATING!

    If you do I'd be curious what you think. I'm just finishing it now.

    The Arrival by Shaun Tan is another truly extraordinary description-defying book that I read earlier this year.

    If you like books about Japan, Shogun by James Clavell is an absolute classic.

    The Necronomicon is an ok read for a 15 year old. It's not a real grimoire, not does it fall under the category of religion. The real author was H.P. Lovecraft. Brilliaont author btw, but not a master high priest of Beezelbub.
