Finished " The Strain" it is a total delight gripping in all the right places, while giving freedom to me as read to imagine the worst. Which I did, many times. So now to order the next one, "The Fall" because I want to know what happens next. While I wait for that one to arrive, I am reading "Childhoods End" by Arthur C Clarke, I have read heaps of books but this is the first one by Arthur C Clarke. Mostly avoid his work, but this is most enjoyable, If you enjoyed that little movie of alien arrival "Independence Day" this is like that but with fun.
So Now to dyslexia, It is the best ever I find that it is a truly liberating way to view the world.

Won't be long now.....
The Strain keeps being gripping, in ways that don'r always lead to comfortable dreams, but they are only dreams, so who is worry about that. But Oh it is good, very good. Knowing that there are three volumes does mean that this one might not end well!! But knowing how these guys work, i guess that there may never be a happy ending.
Then I bought a delightful little story hidden in my local comic shop, Adelaide comic shop such an easy thing to remember. and rather nice people do look them up. So anyway the story is "Breath of Bones: a tale of the Golem" by Steve Niles, Dave Wachter, Matt Santoro. If there was ever going to be a Golem I hope it is this one.
This is one I bought because it had a seriously cool title "The Origin of the Feces" David Waltner-Toews, Then you can never be to aware of the culture you live in, the history that got a people to a particular place and time. So I picked up "Aboriginal Convicts" by Kristyn Harman.
The book about being dyslexic is now out and about in college helping people understand their children.
So if you are dyslexic it is just about the coolest way to see the world, ever. so enjoy the day just because you can.

been buying books
A text book for a course I am just about to start " You Are My People:" Louis Stulman and Hyun Chul Paul Kim. It has a really neat feeling cover but i bought it online so had to discover that later. But it is a great bonus.
Then hit a couple of theological book sales and bought heaps of them particularly around mission stuff. so won't bother to list them. But oh I am so enjoying "The Strain" it is a massive delight, the characters are neatly and cleverly revealed rather then fully formed, and the incidental people that populate stories, are so helpful to my personal tension as I attempt to find sleep.
Just about given up on "Mollusc" so bored by it.
Also a great friend showed me a book that will be helpful thinking about mission and development of ministry "A ministry shaped by mission" Paul Avis.
Have a great day, because you can. Dyslexia is is a fine fine thing enjoying this view of the world. Hope yours is fun to
