Well I am still in "Man's Search for Meaning", it is a most unsettling book. The width, the depth, the height, of what human beings will do to another human being is completely frightening. Do not forget that this not the purpose of Viktor E Frankl writing this book. The way he lays out the internal life as the means of being somewhere else, is completely thrilling. The question becomes what do you do to build an internal life, that would become all that sustains you when even food is not enough to live on. When terror is at a whim, death is to relieve a man's boredom, or guilt.

I like his work.

Dyslexia is a truly  neat way to see the world. have a great day, because you can.

The way a book looks matters, I saw it on the shelf liked the title and the cover art. The texture of the cover was just beautiful. The silver embossed title, "A Monster Calls" " A novel by Patrick Ness from an original idea by Siobhan Dowd.  That was the most intriguing set of cover words I had read in a long time so I bought it.

The internal illustrations are delightful, they have a raw, crude, truthful quality. I hold great hope for a story that does the same.

Today I shall enjoy being dyslexic because it is a blast. have a good day because you can

I am reading "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl. It is a book that needs to be read slowly. With deliberate intent. I also while browsing through TED, there was moment of him talking which was just neat, watched it twice. I have his voice in my head now. It is harrowing for all the right reasons. Find it read it, like it pass it on.

There is a brief time about when people give up and what that looks like. I found myself, wondering what that would like today. In the concentration camp, when someone smoked there own cigarettes, they have given up and they are not trading anymore. What is that we keep to ourselves that we used to share or pass on.

Never forget dyslexia is a grand thing I like mine. Have a good day, because someone has to.

So I like this book, I like it a lot. Saw the trailer, bought the book, watched the movie. I know there is always the difference between formats. One is not better than the other they are just different ways and means of telling a story.

The movie is a totally delightful love story which involves the recovery of what is truly believed to be unrecoverable. As a priest and christian I see so much in it. That makes me smile with glee and not the musical.

The book as a format allows for deeper questions to be raised. Mostly because you can be in the head and emotions of a character (I hate spelling that word it takes at least three goes even with a spell checker) I away a voiceover never can.

There is moment in a bar in the book where on flat screen tv's are play incomplete loops of sports. A delightful time, when the zombie wonder about who is alive and who is dead and what the thinest of differences are between these states. I like this book read it enjoy it. I makes for great dreams, I read this before sleeping.

Remember dyslexia is a really really marvellous thing. A fantastic way to see the world and live in it.

Enjoy have a seriously good day, as it is your turn.

So reading "warm bodies" Isaac Marion's book. It is far less bleak that I thought humour, pathos moments of delight mixed in with the living dead. The bleakness kicked in with this terrible thought.

"...If everyone's too busy building things and shooting things to bother feeding their souls, screw them. Just write it on a notepad and give it to me. I'll read it."
 "A whole book for just one person," Nora says, looking at me. Could that ever be with it?"

Completely and utterly yes yes yes every time.

I like this book a lot will enjoy the movie to.

It is possible that being dyslexic, is a rather good thing. have a great day someone has to.

So it has been a little while been in some books, well still in "the philosophical breakfast club" it still pushes me, I ran into these words as one friend writes to another "Who the deuce ever did anything worth naming without a sacrifice of some kind or other?"

Then the book I am reading at breakfast and dinner, in our house we read heaps the only meal no reading is allowed at is the evening meal (oh we don't read at meals when we have visitors as that would be rude).  So anyway I am reading "Warm Bodies" I think it is a as important a parable of our times as the first living dead movies, were to their time. I like this book heaps.

I am also picking up on old one of my book shelves "What consumers really want: Authenticity" by James H. Gilmore & B. Joseph Pine II.

I'll let you know how that goes.

Being a dyslexic does mean that you are hyper aware of the world around as it changes all the time, and each change means a new map in a persons head, so just be aware, when a dyslexics complains about something new. You are rewiring their/our head each time.

I still think it dyslexia is best way to see the world. Have a good day, because someone has to.
