one finishes and a new one begins

I have finished Stone Mouth, Iain Banks is awesome. It is well crafted, I was lured in to this returning a journey home, and to face a future. This needs to be read by more people, by you, It has a most satisfying ending. A pleasure to arrive at the end of. I think I will search out his other works again. not so much the science fiction stuff.

So I go to a meeting with people and I sit next to rather cool you bloke called Mark who is the grandson of a great anglican bloke and had a book written about him and he sent me one. I shall read it

Also into the Myke Cole as well. But now reading for the next few days going fishing!!!!

a surprise delivery

Sometimes I forget things i have ordered on the net. Living in Australia does sometimes mean that books and stuff arrive a little bit later than the rest of the world. Particularly books the lag can be quite frustrating. I go into the bookshop and ask about books and when I get told that they don't have a release date it is just frustrating. So I go online it the vast delight of abebooks or some other book selling entity. So I ordered this, I liked the first one so waited and waited, Then ordered it forgot that i had and today it arrived. I am quite excited. I like Myke Cole's work.

I have started it, Still reading Stone Mouth, still liking it a lot, it is a great breakfast book. It is building nice and I still don't know what, Stewie's offence or mistake was that forced him to leave Stone Mouth

Iain Bank's has written a good book again, I am enjoying my dyslexia today it is fun and a delight, have a great day because you can/

the picture book

I bought this because he is awesome completely utterly awesome.  Shaun Tan rocks buy this read this like it heaps.

Iain Banks just writes with a beauty that takes ones breath. my breath has been taken.

'Really. And not those sort of videos, either. Music, mostly. And I might be interested in films. Like, acting? Depends though.' She skips, unforced, just like a five-year-old. 'Photography thing could work out....' Iain Banks Stone Mouth

I am a hundred pages in liking it a lot.

Enjoy because you can, because you should.

Dyslexia is a fun I like mine.

Stone Mouth: feel the fog

So breakfast reading is to be "Stone Mouth" by Iain Banks, his opening paragraphs do put you in the mist. A moment in the Haze. You almost feel the dampness on your face. I have liked Iain Bank's words since "The Wasp Factory", which somebody borrowed and never returned. I do struggle with the science fiction portion of his work, but I do try.

Still now I have to go to church and preach. Have a great day because you can.

As a dyslexic there are somethings which are hard, for me reading is not hard, my dyslexia affects my short term memory and sequencing. Both of which make writing hard, it does make written english feel like a third language. A place where I sometime have little confidence.

But that doesn't stop me.
