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.

Yesterday I bought two books one was  the second part of some kind of longer story, Brent Weeks The Blinding Knife, been so long between books going to need to read the first one again,( The Black Prism) just to catch up with the characters, plot etc. The most rewarding thing is having my daughter say out loud " I have read some Dickens, I must read some more".  So being a good father and husband I bought the cloth bound penguin edition of "Great Expectations" The smile on her face will make me by at least one maybe two more editions in this set of books never read any Charles Dickens myself. I may just have to, read one so I can keep up, with my own daughter. Still reading, nope, begun reading Dallas Willard "Personal, Public Reality?" Great introduction not always enjoyed his work but this has a good hook into it. So will pursue it further. Have a great day and remember dyslexia is a very nice thing for me. hope you like yours too.
