So been reading again, to be held by a title and to not be disappointed it is this one "Emperor Mollusk versus  the sinister brain" by A. Lee Martinez I Like this it is a bed time reading joy.  It has a lovely cover. On a totally different note is this "the fabrication of Aboriginal history" Volume One by Keith Windschuttle. learning more about a history that is this recent is challenge. As this has to change you, you cannot be unmoved when these are in the corporate memory of the still breathing.  Will seee how we go with that.

Also Tim Winton who I met a long time ago at the greenbelt festival in the United Kingdom. He wouldn't remember, as I was one among many. But his faith and words were so cool. "Dirt Music" a gift for a friend.

Picked up a couple of graphic novels "American Vampire Volume 1" and "The Mice Templar Volume 1" Picked up a couple of ex-library books "Arise Sir Jamie Oliver the biography" and an cook book "Walkabout Chefs"

Finally " The secret language of leadership" by Stephen Denning I'll let you know how it sometime later. As now I have to read contacts and reports. Don't forget that Dyslexia is a thing I enjoy, have a great day

So have finished the book about Osama bin Laden being killed, "No Easy Day" by Mark Owen It was kind of gripping. I like his style he was open and had the right amount of secrecy. There are things to learn from the people who live and work in this community. Well worth a read. "Make it so" the interface design book is so cool. I have been away on break from work and I have watched some television (it is one of the things I do when on holiday) and the design of a get more hair on your head advert, it was as if they had read this book. or at least the opening two chapters on how to make you designs look kind of sciencey and futuristic. They did a great job of that, but I have enough hair on my head. So not sold on the product.

Do have to tell you I shall be reading more  G K Chesterton "Orthodoxy" is really really good. It pokes holes that whole "The Matrix" worldview, nice to read.  He does put together a totally superb sentence loaded with ideas. He doesn't hold back it is a joy read someone who lays into people nicely!!! I don't know who Mr McCabe is but G K, is not struck on him "I think that Mr. McCabe is a slave because he is not allowed to believe in fairies" To see where it fits in G K argument you need to find page 39 of "Orthodoxy" But it is a great sentence.

Also found two books Orson Scott Card "The Lost Gate" and my first J G Ballard book "Empire of the Sun"

And returning from being away the copy of "the out of bounds church?" by Steve Taylor was waiting in the letter box. As I write this "Streets of Fire: a rock and roll fable is playing" just love five dollar movies. Now I embrace my dyslexia, use yours and enjoy the world. Have a great day.

So my bed time reading, is "Make It So" a book on interface design. It is so cool buy it read use it to change how you see the world and interact with it. Also track down a rather neat magazine "Dumbo Feather" I like it. It is nicely pushy. Worth finding remember dyslexia is a great way to see the world, and live in it. Have a great day.

Visited a mate in hospital yesterday, stopped in a bookshop (Dymocks) picked a couple of books for him, 1001 battles that changed the course of history and volume one of Winston Churchill's world war two account. For myself a long time ago I read Bob Woodward's account of the life and death of John Belushi. Total enjoyed that, so having had that experience I picked up what I guess is his new one The Price of Politics, I take an interest in this stuff because of an old and dear friend who taught me this stuff matters thank Des. I am Dyslexic and very good at it. What are you good at? Have a  good day someone has two.

So my in-laws are here from the UK and I have been given the books they read on the plane flight over. So both of the new Jack Reacher novels a added to the list so much reading so much fun to be had as ever. Don't forget dyslexia I like mine hope you like yours have a great day. Oh my daughter has taken Howl's moving castle to bed. won't see that for a while.  

So it has been a cool day to day for books, picked up another Vince Flynn i haven't read " Separation of Power" then this book "Solomon Kane" a novel by Ramsey Campbell; based on the screenplay written by Micheal J. Bassett; based on the character created by Robert E. Howard. It is a movie tie-in  book and I bought it because I watch the trailer and the main character sounds just like my mum. For me it is the funnest thing ever for me. As you don't know my mum. "Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wynne Jones never read anything by her so looking forward to this one. Also "Bleak House" by Charles Dickens.


Then through the post these two books arrived: "Make It So: leadership lessons from Star Trek" by Wess Roberts and Bill Ross; and a 1907 forth edition copy of "Orthodoxy" by G.K. Chesterton.

So many books and I have the time to read them. I am dyslexic and liking it, have a great day as I am.

Oh I am quite liking how "Existence" David Brin is unfolding in a very pleasant way, It is improving as I get further into the book. The distance between character and events is closing.

so I am up it is before 7-00 am and the sunshines brightly through the window, it is the long weekend a bank holiday, a time of great rejoicing will occur in my household, we will dance and sing just because we can. We will in the end rest and read a book and writing and creativity will happen. Today is a good day to be a dyslexic. I like being a dyslexic. So back to writing about trolls and fairy creatures, freedom and liberation and the cost of getting to that freedom. Enjoy today because you can.
