Well Joe Hill "Nos4R2" is not good breakfast time reading. Will have to find a better time to read that then. May have to swap it around with "The exegesis of Philip K Dick". Or something else Hmmm wonder what else I have I simply refuse to do any work reading at meal time or just before bed. I think "Orthodoxy" Gk Chesterton or James H. Cone or both think I may alternate them.
In our house we read a lot, because we like it and At meal times breakfast and lunch you can read but the evening meal is when we talk and laugh and enjoy time together. Because time together matters.
Dyslexia is a blast at least mine is, Hope you like yours It is the best way to see to view the world.
Have a great day because you can

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 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.
