There moments when you wonder what you get from reading a book, sometimes it is another world, a place of escape, a delight to have. I find myself having finished "Bitterseed" The words of Edgar Rice Boroughs that appear in a extra on the John Carter Bluray " He wanted a part of the action that these rubbishy writers were getting. Bitterseed is ok but it does feel like damned with faint praise. Must get my own work out there sometime so I can be damn by faith praise to. Dyslexia Rocks Have fun

So page 180 William Gibson "Distrust that particular flavour" the chapter: My Own Private Tokyo These four words, "Folded paper. Junkie origami." four words and the art of exchange is shown in clarity that only seen by an outside observer, rather than an involved participant. A pusher and a junkie consumer, four words and a story is told, I have been reading William Gibson's works for a while now. Not one of his stories has translated into a gripping movie. I still watch them and find myself wondering where and how the choice to leave something out, has happened, rolling multiple characters and events into a single person and story arc. When it is on occasions the minor, lesser characters that draw us into the story. I think it might be the place where sometime we may appear. I haven't thought of myself as the hero, never wanted to be Frodo, or Neo, or Conan, or John Carter, or whoever you have thought of being. But I can do my bit to build a story in this world, I will be the friend someone needs at their worst or best moment, this will be at their moment of choosing, so how will you and I be ready? Enjoy your day, Dyslexics are the best find one see the world differently

I like to read. Reading one of the things I do to relax,it just gives me a place to escape to rather than from. I have never felt the need to leave this world I rather like it. 

I do wonder if there other people who organise there reading lives as I do. 

I have a book always in my bag sometimes two. In each room of the house I have the book I am reading. In my household we read at breakfast and lunch. Not the evening meal that is when we talk. So my meal reading is Edgar Rice Burroughs: John Cater of Mars Collection. Before sleeping is Fashback Dan Simmons. Study is just heaps of books I am working through and adding to my list each week. I did have one that I have been waiting for for a while,  In Love and War by Jim & Sybil Stockdale. Started it straight out of the box. The fun thing is due to a postal delivery screw up I now have two copies. I shall gift it to someone, don't know who yet. have a great day.
